Abstract

AbstractThis is the second part of a two‐part article, the first part of which appears in this issue of the journal. The article considers the basic problems of Short‐term Dynamic Psychotherapy, namely (1) how to develop techniques that maximize success, and (2) how to recognize suitable patients. In addition, there is a deep theoretical problem: why is it that purely interpretative therapy, even when intense dynamic interaction occurs, only a relatively small proportion of patients experience resolution of their neurosis? Davanloo has developed a technique which leads to solutions to all these problems. The technique is illustrated by an initial evaluation, begun in Part I and completed in the present Part. The article ends with a discussion of the practical and theoretical consequences of this work. Copyright © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
