1. Time Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy
The patient needs an interpersonal therapy for problems stemming from disturbed interpersonal relationships
Dysfunctional styles were learned in the past
Dysfunctional styles are being maintained in the present
The patient reenacts interpersonal difficulties with the therapist
The therapist is a participant observer
The therapist becomes hooked in to reenacting difficulties with the patient
There is one identifiable, problematic relationship pattern

2. “an interpersonal brief psychotherapy
“an interpersonal brief psychotherapy. Its goal is to help the patient move away from replicating dysfunctional interpersonal patterns by facilitating new experiences and understandings within the context of the therapeutic relationship” It is a brief, psychodynamic form of treatment that focuses on the hear-and-now relationship between therapist and client.”
