    Types of Brief Psychodynamic therapy

    Ten major approaches to short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy

    Mann's Time-Limited Psychotherapy (TLP)

    The goal of treatment in TLP is to diminish as much as possible the client's negative self-
    image through resolution of the central issue (Mann, 1991). Symptoms are reduced or
    eliminated as a byproduct of the process.

    Sifneos' Short-Term Anxiety-Provoking Psychotherapy (STAPP) 

    STAPP is a focal, goal-oriented psychotherapy that is usually practiced in 12 to 15 sessions


    and sometimes fewer (Nielsen and Barth, 1991). During the first session, the therapist and
    client agree on a clear psychodynamic focus, rather like a treatment contract. The foci that
    respond best to STAPP are unresolved Oedipal conflicts, but loss, separation issues, and grief
    may also be acceptable. Change comes about through the client's learning to resolve an
    emotional core problem, essentially problem-solving.

    Davanloo's Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) 

    In ISTDP, therapeutic techniques are used to provoke emotional experiences and, through
    this, to facilitate corrective emotional experiences or the positive re-enactments, in therapy,
    of past conflictual relationships (Laikin et al., 1991).

    SE Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

    This model of dynamic therapy can be offered as an open-ended or a time-limited approach


    (Luborsky, 1984; Luborsky and Mark, 1991). The term "supportive" refers to the techniques
    aimed at directly maintaining the client's level of functioning--that is, "supporting" the client.
    The term "expressive" refers to techniques that intend to facilitate the client's expression of
    problems and conflicts and their understanding. Therapists using this approach will 

    The Vanderbilt Approach to Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) 

    The primary goal of this therapy is to foster positive change in interpersonal functioning,
    which will then have beneficial effects on the more circumscribed symptoms (Binder and
    Strupp, 1991). Interpersonal problems are conceptualized in a specific format termed the
    "cyclical maladaptive pattern," which includes four categories of information: 

     Acts of the self toward others

     Expectations about others' reactions

     Acts of others toward the self

     Acts of the self toward the self (introjection)

    Short-Term Dynamic Therapy of Stress Response Syndromes 


    This approach to brief dynamic therapy was developed for use with clients who are dealing
    with recent stressful events, such as traumatic experiences or the death of a loved one
    (Horowitz, 1991).

    Brief Adaptive Psychotherapy (BAP)

    BAP is a short-term analytic model developed to treat clients with personality disorders,
    although it is applicable to other groups of clients as well (Pollack et al., 1991). The theory of
    change is that through cognitive and affective understanding of the origins and operations of
    the maladaptive pattern, the client can change and construct more adaptive patterns.

    Dynamic Supportive Psychotherapy

    Supportive therapy is widely practiced clinically but historically is defined mainly by the
    absence of expressive or interpretive components of psychoanalytic therapies (Pinsker et al.,
    1991). It evolved as the psychodynamically based therapy used for lower functioning or more
    fragile clients for whom the expressive work of therapy might be too distressing.

    A Self-Psychological Approach 

    The essential aspects of the theory of Self Psychology (Baker, 1991) include the following: 

     Empathy

     The concept of the selfobject

     The importance of the self in motivating behavior 

     The role of symptoms as the client's way of restoring self-cohesion

    In this brief self-psychological therapy approach, one or two goals are established
    collaboratively in the initial sessions. The duration of treatment typically is 20 to 30 sessions,
    with fewer or more as needed.
