This manual presents a carefully researched, detailed psychodynamic treatment program for the alleviation of a transdiagnostic range of primary Axis I anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and related psychological problems. First exploring the principles of psychodynamic theory and formulation, the authors then present a three-phased process of Panic Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy-Extended Range (PFPP-XR): initial evaluation, interpretation of central conflicts and defense mechanisms, and termination. Each phase is discussed in depth and relies on central case illustrations to demonstrate techniques and results. A subsequent chapter explores how to address complex issues that may arise during the course of treatment. Altogether, this manual not only provides a demonstrated, adaptable approach for anxiety disorders, but also clearly embodies a spirit of research and empiricism heretofore rare in psychodynamic psychotherapies, with an eye toward future development.
This chapter provides an introduction to efficacious treatments for PTSD. Despite their efficacy, many patients do not respond to these treatments or have persistent symptoms. PTSD psychotherapy treatments used at the VA, including prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, are described. While these treatments can be helpful, many patients are avoidant of trauma processing and homework. Furthermore, both treatments tend to focus on one central trauma, around which to target exposure exercises, whereas most Veterans experience multiple traumas. An overview of the development and framework of Trauma-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (TFPP), a PTSD symptom focused brief dynamic therapy, is presented. A brief background of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic literature and thinking about trauma is provided to further frame the place of TFPP"--
