Journal of Psychotherapy Integration27.1 (Mar 2017): 93-106. Psychodynamic therapy for depression has received considerable empirical support in recent years, and can presently be designated as efficacious (Leichsenring, Leweke, Klein, & Steinert, 2015). Although psychodynamic theory and therapy are widely used in clinical practice, empirically supported protocols of psychodynamic therapy are still not prevalent in everyday clinical work. Until recently, no systematic attempt has been made to integrate the central elements of different dynamic manuals with central dynamic theories and research. In this article we integrate the active ingredients of different psychodynamic therapies, combining central principles of such theories as that of Kohut with manualized treatments, such as the Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Brief Relational Therapy, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, and Dynamic Supportive Psychotherapy.
