Psychodynamic theory and practice has evolved from its psychoanalytic roots. The modern psychodynamic approach is among the most inclusive and versatile schools of thought available to therapists. With both cross-cultural application and a growing evidence base, psychodynamic therapy is practiced in many countries and cultures around the world. The dynamic approach is a system that touches on human development, personality, mental disorders, and of course, therapy. This article presents an overview of contemporary dynamic theory, its underlying philosophy, and its main objectives.

“…Thus, both the patient's and the clinician's awareness and recognition of the feelings that they have about each other is vital to the treatment. In psychodynamic psychotherapy, patients' reactions to clinicians are often referred to as transference and clinicians' reactions to patients, as countertransference [5]. More specifically, transference can be understood as repetition of feelings, attitudes, and behaviors attached to early formative relationships in the context of a therapy relationship [6].…”

“…Countertransference, when utilized correctly, can help the physician to understand how patients relate to others and experience the world around them. The key is to recognize, accept, and discuss these feelings, in supervision or consultation, if necessary [5]. For example, in the above case, while Dr. T was aware of Amy's desire for more contact, and even for extra-therapeutic contact, he may have been less attentive to his own reaction to her demands.…”

Patients with cancer can feel particularly vulnerable and need special attention and support, so clinicians' attention to transference reactions-theirs and their patients-is especially important. Mismanaged transference reactions can undermine the therapeutic alliance in the patient-clinician relationship and negatively influence treatment outcomes. In oncology settings, real and perceived needs of patients in serious distress can occasion modification of usual outpatient protocols, particularly when flexible scheduling or home or hospital visits are warranted. Here, we comment on a case in which transference reactions of a young woman with cancer prompt her to terminate treatment. We discuss the importance of clinicians' recognizing and managing transference and countertransference, maintaining boundaries, and responding with empathy and integrity to cancer patients' concerns.

“…Countertransference can be defined as feelings, conscious or unconscious, about the patient that may be underrecognized by the physician or student; these feelings naturally occur in each of us and "do not signify that something is wrong with the doctor" (4). Recognizing when countertransference occurs and skillfully using this knowledge in one's clinical work is considered a key to clinical competence for psychiatrists (3), because countertransference helps us to diagnose and assess patients, guides our interventions and treatment, and helps us to learn more about ourselves as clinicians (5). It has also been hypothesized that physicians from other specialties could benefit from this knowledge (6), with evidence suggesting that it could help physicians better recognize errors, improve decision making, and resolve conflict (7).…”
