[edit] Limited

I appreciate the author's enthusiasm to learn Davanloo's Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherepy (DISTDP) and share his interest with others by publishing this article. He, however displays a limited knowledge of many aspects of DISTDP. To detail these would require a line by line commentary and is more than I am prepared to do.

A better option would be to point interested parties to Dr. Davanloo's own recent summary of his technique:

Davanloo, H: "Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy", in: Kaplan H., and Sadock B. (eds), Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, 8th ed, Vol 2, Chapter 30.9, 2628-2652, Lippincot Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2005

Hi Jim. I added the K&S Comprehensive reference to the first paragraph of the article. Thanks for supplying it.

Please feel free to dive in and supplement my article at those points where you feel it could benefit from buttressing. When I submitted this article, I wanted to strike a balance between scholarly precision and accessibility to a non-technical audience. I've tried to keep definitions clear and simple, though I recognize this can lead to a loss of precision. So, yes, my goal was to display limited knowledge. I had hoped others might follow along and contribute amplifying articles which unpack some of the nuances of the technique. An introductory primer didn't seem the place to do that.

[edit] Questions

Article contains questions, these should be removed. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 05:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi RoyBoy. The questions are contained within quotations from clinical dialogue with patients. The dialogue samples are meant to demonstrate the techniques discussed. Removing them would greatly hinder the reader's abillity to get a feel for what some of the elements a therapy session might contain.
