The Adelaide Institute of Psychoanalysis is presenting an online talk by Professor Patrick Luyten on evidence based psychoanalytic treatment.
‘In this talk we will review evidence concerning the effectiveness of the spectrum of psychoanalytic therapies, with a focus on longer-term psychoanalytic treatments, including psychoanalysis. I will also summarize the evidence that has emerged over the past decades for long-term effects, cost-effectiveness and potential mechanisms of change of psychoanalytic therapies.
This is followed by a discussion of research on similarities and differences between psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapies, and differences between outcomes of therapists/analysts in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapies, based on a number of well-known and exemplary quantitative and qualitative studies. Finally, I will discuss the relevance of this body of research for psychoanalytic practice and training’.
