Professor of Psychotherapy Research, Head of the Division of Psychodynamics. Appointment: March 1, 2016 Karl Landsteiner Private University of Health Sciences, Division of Psychodynamics, Department of Psychology and Psychodynamics.
Inaugural Lecture, October 30, 2018:
Psychodynamic psychotherapy research: a review of regional and international perspectives.
A current stock-taking reveals the corroboration of basic theoretical assumptions of psychodynamic psychotherapy by convergent data from empirical-experimental research in neighboring disciplines. Interdisciplinary encounters with neuroscience and cognitive science bring about an intensification of its own little-noticed empirical research tradition at the core of psychodynamics itself.
Historically, pioneers such as Sigmund Freud, Helene Deutsch, and Melanie Klein understood their clinical work as a junction of research and healing. If scientific objects of psychotherapy research are intrapsychic states and their changes, as well as developments and changes in the relationship to oneself and to others, the question arises as to which research methods are applied.
For psychotherapy research as well as for average population studies psychometric measuring instruments are used, which have been developed in the course of therapeutic work on the basis of clinical experience in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
The presentation provided insights into the state of the art of psychotherapy research and outlined future developments.
