Brief Adaptive Psychotherapy

This approach is designed for avoidant, dependent, histrionic, obsessive-compulsive and passive-aggressive personality disorders. It is in the transference that the maladaptive pattern can be most clearly seen, explicated and understood. It is in the transference that the patient’s pathology will be most apparent to the patient and most available for real work. (40 pgs)

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy

This technique was developed by Habib Davanloo in order to break through the patient’s defensive barrier. The major innovations which speed and intensify treatment are: high therapist activity level, maintenance of focus, early and extensive analysis of the transference, analysis of character defenses, and linkage of the therapist-patient relationship with other significant relationships in the patient’s life.
