Full Description:
Dr. Hanna Levenson, a leading proponent of Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP), takes the viewer through the highlights of a 20 session course of therapy with a depressed, passive, and somatizing 74 year-old man. She illustrates how to develop and maintain a focus of treatment, intervene, and terminate in a time-effective manner. With helpful voiceovers, she shares her perceptions and insights as the case is unfolding, explaining the rationale for her interventions. She demonstrates how TLDP integrates psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and system approaches, and is especially useful for patients with chronic and pervasive interpersonal difficulties. The clarity of Dr. Levenson's instruction makes it clear why Hans Strupp, the co-founder of TLDP, refers to her as a "master teacher."
By watching this video, you'll learn how to:
Quickly assess the patient's suitability for TLDP
Collaboratively set meaningful and achievable goals
Keep the therapy focused on the goals at hand
