A comprehensively revised edition of this essential guide to brief dynamic therapy, an integrative, culturally-sensitive, time-efficient model of psychotherapy. In this third edition, Hannah Levenson provides the history and theoretical basis of time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP). In the years since the earlier editions, new research findings, including process-outcome studies, have affirmed the effectiveness of this treatment, while also detailing the process by which alliance ruptures are repaired in TLDP. New clinical research also helps illuminate the "reconsolidation process" in which sudden, dramatic change happens in brief dynamic therapy. TLDP is an integrative approach that uses techniques from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, affective-experiential learning, and systems orientations to help clients with long-standing, dysfunctional ways of relating to others. The author explores this integrative, culturally-sensitive approach, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments.
