“…This instrument consists of 100 variables that assess therapist technique and other aspects of the therapy process based on specific actions, behaviors, and statements made during sessions. In a series of studies, blind raters scored the 100 PQS variables from archival, verbatim session transcripts for hundreds of therapy hours from outcome studies of both brief psychodynamic therapy and CBT (Ablon & Jones, 1998;Jones & Pulos, 1993). 10 In one study, the investigators asked panels of internationally recognized experts in psychoanalytic therapy and CBT to use the PQS to describe "ideally" conducted treatments (Ablon & Jones, 1998).…”

“…Other empirical studies have also demonstrated links between psychodynamic methods and successful outcome, whether or not the investigators explicitly identified the methods as "psychodynamic" (e.g., Barber, Crits-Christoph, & Luborsky, 1996;Diener, Hilsenroth, & Weinberger, 2007;Gaston, Thompson, Gallagher, Cournoyer, & 11 See the original source for more complete descriptions of the two therapy prototypes (Ablon & Jones, 1998). 12 The study is one of the archival studies analyzed by Jones and his associates (Ablon & Jones, 1998;Jones & Pulos, 1993).…”

“…In three sets of archival treatment records (one from a study of cognitive therapy and two from studies of brief psychodynamic therapy), the researchers measured therapists' adherence to each therapy prototype without regard to the treatment model the therapists believed they were applying (Ablon & Jones, 1998). Therapist adherence to the psychodynamic prototype predicted successful outcome in both psychodynamic and cognitive therapy.…”

The intellectual, social, and professional contexts in which Freud developed his ideas about psychotherapy are discussed, reviewing the different models (topographic, economic, dynamic, and genetic) subsumed under his early drive‐conflict theory. The development of his later structural (id, ego, superego) model and the emphasis on defense and adaptation characteristic of the ego psychology tradition that derived from that paradigm are then addressed. British object relations and American interpersonal theories, the self‐psychology movement, and contemporary intersubjective and relational contributions to the psychoanalytic clinical literature are reviewed. In each section, both the context in which innovative theoretical contributions arose (especially the type of patient with whom the theorist worked) and the implications of the different paradigms for psychotherapy are addressed. Research is examined that is pertinent to the ingredients of the psychodynamic therapies as they have been empirically found to be practiced, covering studies of affective expression, attention to defense, identification of patient problems, interest in effects of past experiences, focus on interpersonal experiences, emphasis on the therapeutic relationship (the therapeutic alliance and transference), and exploration of dreams, wishes, and fantasies. Finally, outcome studies in psychoanalysis and long‐term psychodynamic therapy are reviewed and recommendations for further research are made.

Q‐methodology embraces, and is particularly suited for, the study of human subjectivity. Commonly (though incompletely) known as the Q‐sorting technique, Q‐methodology encompasses a unique set of psychometric and operational principles that, when combined with specialized statistical applications of correlational and factor‐analytical techniques, provides psychological researchers with an organized and rigorously quantitative means for examining subjective impressions (McKeown & Thomas, 1988). It allows complex naturalistic data to be reliably rated and examined. From the standpoint of Q‐methodology, the subjectivity inherent in many areas of psychology is not problematic; it is merely regarded as points of view on any matter to be researched. In fact, it is only subjective judgments that are at issue in Q‐methodology, and although they are typically improvable, they can nevertheless be reliably and intersubjectively observed, and they can be shown to have structure and form. Q‐methodology is employed to test whether subjective phenomena are intersubjectively observable and co‐occur; this is done by assessing their relationships through rigorous quantitative means (Jones, 2000).
