In an evaluation, the assessment of many clinical moments, in conjunction with the more usual taking of a history, may be enough to reach a clinical conclusion and make a recommendation. In ongoing psychodynamic therapy, the therapist experiences clinical moment after clinical moment, and all of this takes place within a special context. For in psychodynamic psychotherapy, the therapist is pulled by the patient into the patient’s world—or at least a simulated microcosm of that world, within the four walls of the therapy consulting room.
Psychotherapy, the “talking cure,” is the medical treatment directed toward changing behavior through verbal means.
