In this book, Dr. Penny Rawson succeeds in showing short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy to be an authentic and accepted method of therapy. She roots the concept in tradition and also introduces the reader to the relevant contemporary literature. In examining several cases in detail she draws out the key principles involved to present these in a clear and concise manner and demonstrates aspects of the method in practice. This book is both an excellent introduction and in depth exposition so it is highly relevant to the experienced practitioner or student. It will appeal to people both lay and professional who have an interest in an approach to therapy that is condensed but not diluted.'This book concentrates on short term psychodynamic psychotherapy. It aims to discover and analyse the key principles involved. It also aims to enrich the understanding of an approach to therapy that is already of benefit to many in our community, but that could reach very many others if it were better known and understood.'- From the Introduction.

Reviews for Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Analysis of the Key Principles

By addressing the gap in current literature on this subject, the author hopes to bring this form of treatment to the attention of a wider audience, and in doing so, increase basic awareness of this key treatment. In order to make this a more accepted practice, Rawson roots the concept in tradition, and links it to the work of other experts in the field, but succeeds in not detracting from the focus of the book as an introduction to the concept. With her accessible, open style, Rawson also succeeds in making this a book that can offer a more informed choice on psychotherapeutic treatment to a community that can but benefit from her work, and in doing so, fills the gap in the literature where this book should be.
