Title: incorrect at the core
Review: the core purpose of this book is to "debunk" psychodynamic therapy, but the definition of psychodynamic therapy that the authors use is fundamentally incorrect. they also lump virtually all talk therapy into one category and call it psychodynamic which is also incorrect.yes, many of Freud's theories are/were flawed and not empirically supported, and most psychologists realize this. most psychologists do not base their practice and theory on Freud alone. True psychoanalysis is still around, but psychoanalysis is not psychodynamic therapy.the only thing i liked about this book is the fact that it supports pharmacotherapy. however, pharmacotherapy and talk therapy of some variety is really the way to go. if you are considering therapy, don't look to this book for help--find a book with a more balanced approach.
