Abstract
Psychodynamic psychotherapy seems to be effective in improving object relations functioning. Consider use of psychodynamic techniques early in treatment with patients expressing more pathological object representations. Improvements in object relations functioning during psychodynamic psychotherapy are also related to adaptive changes in patient self-reported symptomatology. Therapist effects were also present for the study. As such therapists should be mindful to assess patient change and their use of technique at several points in treatment and flexibly adjust their approach as necessary.
