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.
Hanna Levenson, PhD, is the author of over 75 papers; two books, the Concise Guide to Brief Dynamic and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (2002) and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Guide to Clinical Practice (1995); and four professional videos. A professor of psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, she also maintains a private practice in Oakland, California. She is a member of APA and a fellow of Division 29 (Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy), the California Psychological Association, the Society for Psychotherapy Research, the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration, and the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
