What stood out to me was that the psychodynamic effect size in the JAMA study increased from 1.03 at termination to 1.25 almost 2 years later. This shows the importance of "evaluating" therapy by whether patients continue to improve after the therapist is no longer there. #Psyc4666 #TalkingHelps

Postpartum Depression and Problem-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: The Five Core Conflicts
Postpartum Depression and Problem-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: The Five Core Conflicts
In this episode, Dr. Puder talks with reproductive psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Alyson Gorun and Dr. Fredric Busch about postpartum depression and problem-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy. They focus on the five core conflicts (difficulty tolerating anger, idealized expectations of parenthood, struggles with dependence, fear of separation and abandonment, and fear of intrusion) that often underlie symptoms, shame, attachment reactivation, and stuck behaviors in the perinatal period.
This episode explores:
-How these dynamics emerge even when parents know what they “should” do
-How to integrate psychodynamic insight with medication, sleep, social support, and evidence-based care
-Practical ways clinicians can help mothers and fathers mentalize their experiences, reduce guilt, and improve bonding.

2/4) Control groups in these trials are often shams. In one NIMH-funded PTSD study, the "psychodynamic" group was run by grad students with 2 days of training, forbidden from discussing trauma. Compare that to an intentionally trained CBT group and call it a fair fight? Not quite.

Oh, rad that you get 4 years! Here in the States- at least from what I've seen- the training models are split between 2-year psychodynamic/analytic (ofteninterchangable terms) certification and full 4-year psychoanalysis training, where you do need an analysis.

Very in depth. Good luck with it. If you get a place you’ll definitely have earned it! I hope you do😊
In my psychodynamic/humanistic training there were two interviews per year, but not to get in. Maybe one to get in, I can’t remember.

It’s a 4 year training programme, not in a university. There’s two routes, psychoanalytic (have to be in analysis three times per week which is out for me on cost), psychodynamic which is weekly analysis which is doable.

In process of applying for psychodynamic therapy training. In the application, it’s asking for a short account of childhood, education, family life. Is this expected to be a reflective piece. Any peeps can advise? There is a separate section looking for about two pages of why you want to train.

I suspect the matching rate is the same across all dating apps, regardless of method. Because: billions of years of evolution urging organisms to make more organisms. You don’t need spiritual psychodynamic gibberish about non-conscious ideas for animal mating to be a huge success.

East of Eden Reflective Function Collapse: Psychodynamic Therapy and How to Heal the Characters
East of Eden Reflective Function Collapse: Psychodynamic Therapy and How to Heal the Characters
In this episode, Dr. David Puder and his psychodynamic psychotherapy training cohort apply reflective function (RF) and mentalization concepts to John Steinbeck’s masterpiece East of Eden. They examine how Reflective Function collapses under shame, rejection, threat, and attachment arousal across key characters. The discussion highlights that true personality health is not the absence of aggression, dependency, or guilt but the growing capacity to recognize conflicting self-parts, stay in contact with reality, and remain related to imperfect people.

I decided to start reading more about psychodynamic therapies, as I didn’t get much exposure to this in grad school or in the first half of my career. I got some info, but not in much depth & especially not after the publicly funded MH world shifted to “evidenced based practices.”

Personally I never came across such dudes like the guys you dated, so I couldn't draw the link. But I have seen people online who *claimed* they had OCD, but neither talked about official diagnosis nor their psychodynamic so you could see how it aligned with OCD dynamics

This in conjunction with relatively stable housing & disability benefits allowed myself to go on without killing myself, although there were multiple close calls.
This allowed me to gradually do heavy trauma therapy (two sessions a week) in a more transference and overall psychodynamic style.
