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, posttraumatic 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 manual details a psychodynamic treatment program designed to alleviate a broad spectrum of anxiety disorders. The authors, drawing on extensive research, present a three-phased approach called Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy-Extended Range (PFPP-XR). This program begins with an initial evaluation, moves into the interpretation of central conflicts and defense mechanisms, and concludes with termination. Case illustrations are used throughout to demonstrate techniques and outcomes, with a dedicated chapter addressing complex treatment issues.
This manual is presented as a rigorously researched and detailed psychodynamic treatment program for a transdiagnostic range of anxiety disorders. It aims to bridge the gap between psychodynamic theory and empirical research, offering a structured, adaptable approach for clinicians. The inclusion of case illustrations and a focus on practical application suggests its utility for practitioners seeking evidence-based psychodynamic interventions. The authors emphasize the program's adaptability and its contribution to the empirical development of psychodynamic psychotherapies.
