ForwardIOP Seminar - Essentials of Psychodynamic -Instructor: Seth Pitman, PhD, ABPP
The goal of this course is to examine the core techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy and how they contribute to therapeutic change. We begin with Freud’s practical advice for psychoanalysts and then situate psychodynamic techniques within the broader landscape of psychotherapy, considering the role of both “common factors” and specific interventions in the therapeutic process. From there, we will review more contemporary approaches to clinical practice, before concluding with an examination of the power of emotionally transformative interventions. Throughout the seminar, we will discuss case material alongside these readings to develop a shared framework for thinking about psychodynamic work, including how it stands apart from, but also converges with, other modalities in promoting change.
