Resistance and Transference in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (IS-TDP) and Classical Psychoanalysis—Similarities and Differences—Part II

Abstract

Part I of this article discussed the concepts of resistance and transference in classical psychoanalysis and in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (IS-TDP). The psychotherapeutic setting and the technical interventions utilized by the two therapies, to work with resistance and transference, differ dramatically. This present article, via edited excerpts from an IS-TDP trial therapy evaluation, discusses the similarities and differences between classical psychoanalysis and IS-TDP, regarding the technical approaches to the management of resistance and transference.
