Psychodynamic perspectives on psychosis and psychotherapy II: Practice

Journal/Book: Brit J Med Psychol. 1997; 70: St Andrews House, 48 Princess Rd East, Leicester, Leics, England LE1 7DR. British Psychological Soc. 313-324.

Abstract: Psychodynamic theory has a contribution to make to the overall care and management of people suffering from psychosis. The research literature in support of these contributions is reviewed and key psychodynamic concepts of value in understanding psychosis are illustrated by the case example of a two-year supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy with a man experiencing paranoid and grandiose delusions. The contribution psychodynamic approaches may make to currently evolving cognitive behavioural therapies, and to the overall provision of care are discussed.
