From the reviews:“There are enough that are truly excellent that anyone interested in the current state of scientific knowledge on psychoanalysis and other psychoanalytic treatments would do well to consult this particular volume. … More important, psychoanalytic therapists will come away from this book with practical pieces of empirical knowledge that they can use to improve the effectiveness of their clinical efforts … . this book likely was written to speak to another audience––clinicians and researchers … .” (John S. Auerbach, Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol. 31 (2), 2014)“It is a timely, smart, sophisticated, and substantial contribution to the growing momentum of the psychodynamic movement toward more vocally reasserting its power, relevance, vitality, and value in today’s highly competitive and dollar-driven mental health marketplace. Reading this expertly edited volume is not only informative regarding the current state of the art of psychodynamic psychotherapyresearch but would also serve as a superb introduction for graduate students, psychiatric residents, and curious laypersons to the basic principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy itself.” (Stephen A. Diamond, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 57 (50), December, 2012)“This book presents the latest studies on the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy and the therapeutic action involved in the process. … It is intended for anyone interested in psychodynamic psychotherapy or in psychiatric research. … It uses multiple research methodologies, large amounts of data, and clearly defined outcome measures to support the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy.” (Brett C. Plyler, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2012)
