Rather than one specific aspect of patients' difficulties, Problem Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PrFPP) focuses on the set of problems (e.g., symptoms, relationship issues, behavioral difficulties) a particular patient brings into the consulting room.\u003c\/p\u003e \t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThrough numerous tables and a wealth of case vignettes, this guide provides novice and experienced clinicians alike with a general template for working with patients to identify and address the overlapping and unique dynamics of various problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eIt describes how to use psychodynamic exploratory techniques to make problem lists and examine the context and emotions surrounding each issue. It also discusses how to develop a psychodynamic formulation to provide a framework for identifying and addressing the dynamic contributors to the various problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eTherapist and patient can then undertake the \"working through\" process to identify how specific dynamics emerge in different contexts and overlap in contributing to problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eAll of these approaches help spur patients' self-reflective capacities and the identification of their own dynamics—making it possible to more rapidly address core difficulties. The work also enables the continued use of these modes of managing problems after the treatment is completed.\u003c\/p\u003e \t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eAnd because PrFPP is suitable for short- and longer-term interventions, it is valuable for patients who either cannot commit to long-term treatment or only have access to brief interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.
