摘要:In recent years there has been a growing interest in the various forms of brief psychotherapy derived from psychoanalytic principles (e.g., Alexander & French, 1946; Mann, 1973; Strupp & Binder, 1984), which has transformed this form of intervention into the most widely used in the field. There is now a huge amount of psychotherapeutic approaches—Kazdin alone in 1986 had already identified over 400 different psycho- therapies—a number today that has certainly grown—each of which relies on its own techniques and visions of mental functioning and psychopathol- ogy. Decades of process and outcome research, how- ever, have lead us to able to say with confidence that there is no best model of intervention but rather that all these approaches, despite their diversity, share a common therapeutic mechanism in the clinical enter- prise (Norcross, 2011) and in the good functioning of the patient-therapist relationship (Lingiardi, 2002; Wampold, 2001).
