Summary
This chapter is designed as an introduction to psychodynamic psychotherapy practice for psychiatrists, training therapists, and for those who are interested in this work. This is an extensive area and this chapter is intended as a summary of its aim and process. The cases reported are composites of those presented in supervision by those in training, the majority of whom were seeing their patients once weekly for one year in NHS settings. The description is intended as a general guideline and is simplified from a broad heterogeneous theoretical area. Psychodynamic terms in italics are defined in the glossary.
