The first of five volumes in the groundbreaking Core Competencies in Psychotherapy series, this exceptionally practical text by a renowned expert introduces students and professionals to the basic principles of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, focusing on long-term dynamic work with adults in individual therapy.
Unlike other texts, this concise yet comprehensive volume Takes difficult theoretical concepts and makes them accessible and practical for psychotherapists who want to master long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy Grows directly from the author's teaching experience with trainees and their questions and concerns and is thus directly linked to the types of learning problems encountered by the students who will use this book Uses clinical vignettes to show how to apply the key principles of psychodynamic theory to difficult clinical cases and how to grapple with the dilemmas that often arise in psychotherapeutic work Provides both residents and training directors with a guide to achieving core competency in this field, as mandated by the Residency Review Committee for Psychiatry.
The author's approach reflects his personal therapeutic style-developed over 25 years of practice-and draws from several theoretical models, illustrating the pluralism in the field today and his own synthesis of those diverse conceptual frameworks.
Beginning with a review of basic psychodynamic principles, the author then discusses how to assess patients, write a formulation, and think about indications and contraindications for long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. In additional chapters, the author focuses on major issues such as starting the therapy, the use of interventions, goals and therapeutic action, ways to work with resistance, countertransference, the use of fantasies and dreams, and termination of therapy. The last two chapters cover the optimal use of supervision and how to measure core competency achievement.
Though written with the psychiatric resident in mind, this remarkably practical text will appeal to a broad audience of trainees in fields such as psychology, social work, counseling, and nursing. It will also be welcomed by educators and students alike as an invaluable teaching tool that can be "put to work" right away as a powerful adjunct to supervision, classroom teaching, and clinical experience with a variety of patients.
Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text Reviews
-
I like Gabbard's straightforward writing style, and his efforts to take the mystery and mothballs out of psychodynamics. This is one textbook I probably will refer to again later, even though psychodynamics is not my thang.

Bardzo przystępna pozycja dla początkujących psychoterapeutów. Autor cierpliwie wyjaśnia wiele kwestii, można wręcz powiedzieć, że prowadzi czytelnika za rękę przez cały proces, ilustrując go przykładami. Uwzględnione są praktyczne aspekty psychoterapii, które wiele podręczników pomija, takie jak sposób zwracania się do pacjenta, płatności, kontrolowanie czasu. Polecam lekturę kursantom szkół terapii każdego nurtu, nie tylko psychodynamicznego.

One of the best books in my training program. Learned a lot and the book is refreshingly well written. You can read it fast and still understand what’s being said, and that’s a great thing while you’re studying. Not every chapter is as interesting but the majority is. A great book for when you’re studying to be a psychotherapist. Not so much for patients, it’s specifically aimed at therapists.

Excellent overview for understanding the basics of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Most psychoanalytic authors aim to write to illustrate their intelligence rather than actually guiding people in a straightforward way. There's an unfortunate trend of wanting to sound mystical, dense, or erudite.
Gabbard takes the unusual approach of presenting psychoanalytic treatment as an accessible method for clinicians at any stage in their career.
I would have liked some coverage of enactments, but not a big deal :) -
In the attempt to write a comprehensive basic text, it sometimes gets a little too basic. Having said that, the book covers most important topics of basic training and excels in simplifying complex psychodynamic ideas and concepts.
-
Excellent summary of important psychodynamic concepts.
-
A great overview into the basics of psychodynamic psychotherapy, its main components & challenges it presents to the therapist. Psychodynamic concepts can often seem too abstract & disconnected from reality, thus the use of examples as in this book, it was very useful to understand theory.
-
A phenomenal introductory or review text on the basic tenents of psychodynamic therapy. It has me wanting to re-read some of the Kernberg I read earlier in my training!
-
This series was developed in response to the ACGME adding core competencies in psychothreapy to psychiatry residencyies, and is the shortest book out there that explains the process clearly
-
