“…In this model, an individual draws from past experiences to rigidly interpret present situations (Gill, 1982). The primary goal of this therapy is to help the client recognize alternative ways in which to view the world (Levenson, 2010) and is accomplished by bringing these patterns to the client’s awareness and by using the therapeutic relationship to define healthier, more satisfying interpersonal experiences as opposed to those past experiences congruent with the examined CMP (Levenson, 2003).…”

Emotional regulation may be an underaddressed therapeutic target in sex offender treatment. This article presents a case report of "Adam," a Caucasian male referred to a prison-based sex offender treatment program. Adam's social anxiety was recognized as an antecendent to his sexual offending, and treatment of such, as a critical adjunct to sex offender treatment, is discussed herein. Adam's individualized treatment included aspects of rational emotive behavior therapy and time-limited dynamic psychotherapy. Adam showed an increased understanding of his anxiety and improvement in his social interactions, both in the context of treatment groups and with female staff, and was willing to continue follow-up care in the community. This case provides support for the individualized treatment of incarcerated offenders as opposed to exclusively utilizing manualized psychoeducational interventions.

“…Hanna Levenson's (2003) article on time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP) is masterful, an extraordinary example of what I mean by the coming of age of brief integrative treatment. It was written with ease and breadth and thoroughness and self-assurance.…”

“…An important aspect of Levenson's (2003) contribution is her attention not only to the interpersonal relationship between self and other-the two-person psychological perspective being a fundamental aspect of TLDP-but also to the relation of self to self. "TLDP makes use of the relationship that develops between patient and therapist to kindle fundamental changes in the way the person interacts with others and himself or herself" (p. 301).…”

“…Through the therapist's empathy toward and affirmation of the patient's self, the patient's relationship to his or her own self can begin to change; the new experiences in the dyad stimulate self-to-self changes that eventually generate interpersonal changes. By drawing attention to this area, Levenson (2003) expands our awareness of yet another realm of experience and, thus, yet another essential realm of therapeutic action.…”

“…This issue is explored in detail in two recent articles, one proposing a change-based metatherapeutics from within an affect-centered experiential-psychodynamic framework (Fosha, 2002), the other examining the radical implications of infant-mother interaction research into moment-tomoment change processes for psychoanalytic clinical practice (Lachmann, 2001). Levenson (2003) quotes Strupp and Binder (1984), the creators of TLDP, as saying that their "purpose is [not] to construct a new theory of personality development. .…”

On the basis of a review of 4 contemporary models of brief integrative psychotherapy-short-term restructuring psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy, time-limited dynamic psychotherapy, and a therapy integrating cybernetic systems, existential-phenomenology, and solution-focused narrative approaches-a set of common factors is articulated and a distinction between unitary and dialectical common factors is introduced. That therapy is essentially experiential and that a necessary agent of change is the patient's experience, particularly of new, positive interpersonal experiences, is a major area of agreement among the models. The paper concludes with a discussion of a transformational model of mutual influence, which supports a therapeutic stance that goes beyond responsiveness, to explore therapist initiative in the co-construction of dyadic interpersonal patterns.I have always maintained that brief therapy is therapy, only more so: It is human nature to try make every moment count when confronted with finiteness. Although we all know that our lives are time limited, so to speak, we most often live as if we were immortal until our attention is rudely drawn to the fact that matters are otherwise. Often, traditionalread nonbrief-therapy proceeds as if time did not exist. Brief therapy "pulls" for full engagement and mindfulness of time. There is no reason to hold back or bide one's time: The condensed course almost mandates that therapists be disciplined, pragmatic, nongrandiose, and hard working from moment to moment. In graduate school, some supervisors, kindly seeking to reassure neophytes, say, "There's always next session." The ethos of brief therapy is otherwise: "Work as if there were no next session."
