About the presentation:

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an evidence-based treatment that emerged from the psychoanalytic scholarship, which began with Sigmund Freud. While most textbooks on psychotherapy mention Freud, they do not include the evolution of psychodynamic thought and this can lead interested clinicians to think that they cannot implement psychodynamic interventions in their practice. Dr. Schollars will present 5 myths about psychodynamic psychotherapy, and 5 ways psychodynamic therapy can be implemented in a modern healthcare system.

Learning Statement:

At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees should be able to describe 5 ways they can utilize psychodynamic interventions in their everyday practice.

Learning Objectives: 

• Explain the evidence-base for psychodynamic therapy.
• List 5 ways psychodynamic interventions can be implemented in everyday psychotherapy.
• List 5 myths about psychodynamic therapy.
