Psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy is a psychotherapy technique based on psychoanalytic theories. Many theorists have contributed to the development of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and these theories have subsequently influenced current psychotherapy practice. There are several definitions of psychodynamic psychotherapy, which share specific features related to technique and underlying theory. Drive Psychology, ego psychology, object relations theory, interpersonal psychoanalysis, and self-psychology significantly influence modern psychodynamic psychotherapy. Psychodynamic psychotherapy has demonstrated empirical benefit for many psychiatric conditions, including depressive and anxiety disorders. Medication management appointments that utilize psychodynamic techniques can enhance treatment. This activity reviews the history, theory, technique, and future direction of psychodynamic psychotherapy and explains the role of the healthcare team in improving care for patients who undergo psychiatric treatment.
