This uniquely constructed book reviews four of the current main models of psychodynamic psychotherapy as it is theorized and practised clinically. The four models (object relations, attachment theory, exsistential/phenomenological and ISTDP)are firstly elucidated via in depth interviews with a major proponent of each model. Each clinician then comments on a transcript of a psychoanalytic session, assessing both the therapist's interventions and interpretations, and the patient's functioning. The format, unique in my experience, offers an ideal training tool for teachers and students of the psychodynamic psychotherapies. I recommend this book highly, especially to courses at the master and doctoral level of training. It brings a clarity to both concept and technique of psychotherapy.
