Excerpt
A dynamic psychotherapy can be thought of as having an early phase, a middle phase, and an advanced phase of treatment. Although these three phases are not clearly demarcated and gradually flow from one to the next, there are characteristic features of each phase that can be used to conceptualize the flow of treatment. Understanding the central tasks that define each phase, as well as the clinical issues that characterize it, can help the therapist anticipate and identify expected clinical developments over the course of the treatment, and will also help identify those times when the treatment process is stagnating.
