Overview

This clinically based manual takes readers through the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) which is the basis of a specific form of brief psychodynamic psychotherapy (BPP). The CCRT method is research-supported and easily operationalized. The CCRT method offers symptom relief and limited but significant character change in a strongly interactive 16-session format. It focuses on helping the client to work through the circumscribed area of maladaptive functioning. After presenting general background about BPPs and a specific discussion of the CCRT rationale and process, the author offers the reader a portrait of CCRT therapy in action. In an extended clinical vignette, the reader may follow the therapist and client in a step-by-step manner, from initial session, to therapist formation, articulation and presentation of the CCRT. The volume outlines the 16-session course of therapy including termination and follow-up. This book will be of use to clinicians and directors of postgraduate psychology programmes, mental health training centres, psychiatric residency programmes and to students.
