The Case of Mr. P Primary Intervention Skills in Psychodynamic Therapy

One of the central and distinguishing challenges encountered in psychodynamic-oriented psychotherapy is the interpretation of transference. This report employs a psychodynamic framework to describe and analyze the therapeutic interactions between a client and a therapist. It explains a theorized interaction between transference and insight that has been supported in a small sample study of psychoanalysis as well as from the outcome of a single session during the course of open-ended therapy. This type of therapy was applied in the case of a 27-year-old male presented throughout this paper. A detailed report is provided of the clinical material along with its application to psychodynamic theory. (JDM) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document
