Abstract
Dynamic psychotherapies continue to be the most commonly used mode of treatment both in outpatient psychiatric clinics and in private practice (Feldman, Lorr, & Russell, 1958; Henry, Sims, & Spray, 1973). They are the major form of psychotherapy taught in psychiatric residency programs. Among clinical psychologists, a survey by Prochaska and Norcross (1983) showed that 29.2% identified themselves as purely psychodynamic in orientation, and 45% of those who labeled themselves eclectic (30% of the total sample) described dynamic psychotherapy as underlying their eclectic orientations. When compared to surveys conducted during the 1970s (e.g., Garfield & Kurtz, 1976), these figures actually represent an increased interest in dynamic psychotherapy since that time.
