Sammanfattning
This Danish review is a description of the relevance and importance of psychodynamic psychotherapy in the understanding and treatment of patients with schizophrenia spectrum psychosis. Previous research is included, and the results of a recently published, large-scale, prospective comparative study showing good results of adding psychodynamic psychotherapy to treatment as usual are summarised. Concrete examples are given to demonstrate the specificity of the dynamics and the supportive characteristics of the effective interventions in the relationship between patient and therapist.
