Product Description
This book is a concise, practical, step-by-step introduction to the principles of dynamic psychotherapy. The emphasis is on the practical rather than the theoretical, and included are such topics as the significance of different patient-referral sources, recommendations on how to set up the initial appointment, and practical issues like the arrangement of office furniture and professional fees. Their how-to approach provides mental health practitioners with sound and accessible guidance in a variety of clinical situations.

Reader Reviews
The collaborative effort of Marc H. Hollender (Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee) and Charles V. Ford (Professor of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of Alabama-Birmington), Dynamic Psychotherapy: An Introductory Approach is a impressively presented compendium of concise, practical, step-by-step introductions to the basic principles of applied psychotherapy. Especially recommended reading for novice psychotherapists and students of psychotherapy wanting to learn more about dynamic psychotherapy, the emphasis is on the application of psychotherapy rather than psychotherapy's theoretical or conceptual framework. Individual chapters range from the "what, when, and why" of psychotherapy, to the termination of psychotherapy. Enhanced with a Reference section, as well as a name and a subject index, Dynamic Psychotherapy is a work of impressive scholarship made thoroughly accessible to specialist and non-specialist readers alike.
