SUMMARY

The psychodynamic formulation is a concise conceptualization of the patient’s problem that begins with the core psychodynamic problem and illustrates the connections between the patient’s symptoms, key childhood experiences, seminal life events, and current life issues. A comprehensive formulation combines psychodynamic with nondynamic factors in understanding the patient’s life course. The formulation allows the therapist to anticipate the unfolding of the treatment, including the opportunities for change, obstacles and resistances, and emerging themes in the therapeutic relationship.
