  • Summary

    In this commentary, the author highlights the contributions from Fonagy and colleagues in their chapter on contemporary psychodynamic treatments. Chief among these contributions are balance between a rich and nuanced historical presentation of the major traditions within the psychodynamic perspective and a focus on contemporary psychodynamic treatments such as Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT) and Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). Additionally, building on recent findings regarding the equivalence of outcomes for various treatments irrespective of theoretical orientation, Fonagy and colleagues articulate an interesting, timely, and integrative model of personality disorder that is consistent with and integrative of a psychodynamic approach. In an effort to highlight and elaborate the work of Fonagy and colleagues, the author of this commentary focuses on the unique contributions and utility of a psychodynamic approach.
