Samenvatting:

On the Daily Work of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is an operating manual for the challenging, often lonely and confusing work of doing therapy. It locates clinical method in a historical tradition of many contributory workers including Freud, Breuer, Klein, Segal, Ferenczi, Waelder, Katan, Tausk, Sullivan, Lacan, Bion, and Ogden.

On The Daily Work of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on elaborations of the contemporary psychoanalytic "vernacular" (Miller, 2016), within the challenges of psychotherapy both with difficult patients and with the "worried well" and in time-scales of one and two weekly meetings.Its goal is to illustrate consensual paths recognized by clinicians along which the daily conduct of psychodynamic psychotherapy proceeds. At the core of this enterprise is the construction,through clinical dyadic interaction, of a consensual matrix of meaningful plausibility, useful to the patient in recognizing both dimensions of self and interactions with others.
