This volume presents 12 highly instructive case studies based on the psychodynamic therapy model developed by Richard F. Summers and Jacques P. Barber. Each case brings clinical concepts to life, describing the patient's history and presenting problems, as well as the psychodynamic formulation, treatment design, and the entire course of therapy, including the challenges of termination. The cases address a variety of core psychodynamic issues, with outcomes ranging from very successful to uncertain. They also explore the therapist's emotional experience throughout. Comments from Summers and Barber on each case highlight important points and key clinical dilemmas.
