Brief Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy: A Clinician’s Guide 1st Edition (2011) (PDF) by Alessandra Lemma

Description

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) is a brief psychodynamic psychotherapy developed for the treatment of mood disorders. It is being rolled out as part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative as the psychodynamic model for the treatment of depression.

This book is a user-friendly, practical guide for the implementation of a brief psychodynamic intervention in routine clinical practice as well as in research protocols. It sets out clearly the theoretical framework, as well as the rationale and strategies for applying DIT with patients presenting with mood disorders (depression and anxiety). Throughout, it is illustrated with detailed examples that help the reader to implement the approach in their practice.
The book will be required reading to support the national IAPT training initiative, as well as providing a resource for mental health professionals specialising in psychodynamic psychotherapy and wishing to work within a limited time frame.

User’s Reviews

Review “In sum, brief dynamic interpersonal therapy is a first-rate addition to the collection of brief dynamic treatment manuals from which practitioners, researchers, and students can choose. In my opinion it has four unique contributions: (a) the extensive discussion of therapist competencies; (b) the step-by-step guide to formulating a therapeutic focus; (c) the specific guidelines for making transference interventions; and (d) the requirement to gather session-by-session data on treatment progress and to feed this information back into the therapeutic work. This manual will be a valuable resource for the category of readers that I mentioned. Already, I use it in a brief therapy seminar that I teach. My students have found it readable and believe that it has contributed to their understanding of the processes and procedures associated with brief dynamic therapies.” — Jeffrey L.

⭐ I came to this book from a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) background with a view to explore in more depth psychodynamic approaches. The DIT approach is based on a very clear and coherent model of psychopathology and I have found the model very applicable in my clinical practice. The book was a let down in a number of places though. Firstly, the authors rather annoyingly and gratingly, continually distance themselves from CBT and seem overly eager to appease psychodynamic practitioners who may frown upon a short-term dynamic approach. Related to this I felt the book was limited in its description of the middle phase and the conceptual clarity of the model was not fully made use of in later parts of the book. That is I did not feel very equipped with using the model into a therapy that could translate into real change for the patient beyond helping them gain insight into the underlying dynamic feeding their problem. The authors were far too cautious in this regard I believe because introducing “skills” would have been seen as “too CBT”. Overall a missed opportunity. For the astute clinician the model can be used integratively within a CBT and DBT framework assuming knowledge of these approaches. ⭐ The book itself is an accessible read, as work by these authors tends to be. However, it does seem a little like DIT is a cobbling together of short term psychodynamic psychotherapy, CAT and IPT hurriedly constructed as an alternative to CBT. It feels incomplete. ⭐ Brilliant. Clearly written. ⭐ Non è solo una tecnicama il frutto maturo della cultura europea che Lemma ha saputo mutuare da Fonagy e Targettrasformandolo in un manuale decisivo per le nuove forme di sofferenza.Imprescindibile per gli psioterapeuti in formazione avanzata ⭐ Really helpfull for someone who work a group therapy ⭐ I was disappointed as it very carefully avoids going into describing the process of DIT.Not a good introduction to the model only a vague evaluation of it ⭐ specialist reading ⭐ Excellent book. ⭐ It was what i needed.
