  • Title: Three mechanisms of change in psychodynamic therapy: insight, affect, and alliance.
    Author: Messer SB.
    Journal: Psychotherapy (Chic); 2013 Sep; 50(3):408-12. PubMed ID: 24000861.
    Abstract:
    Excerpts of therapist-patient dialogue are presented to demonstrate three important elements of a successful session of psychodynamic therapy. These are the provision of insight through the use of transference, a focus on patient affect, and the therapist's attention to aspects of the therapeutic alliance. The article, in addition to explicating the clinical process in psychodynamic therapy, gives a theoretical explanation for the emphasis on each of these three elements and provides research support for their application.
