Whereas psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy have traditionally avoided focusing too much on specific symptoms or problems—lest they interfere with free association—this new guide articulates the value of more active and symptom-focused interventions. Having worked on focused psychodynamic treatments of panic disorder, depression, trauma, and behavioral change, Fredric Busch, M.D. expands on that work here, articulating how a focused approach can be adapted for patients in general.
