Integrating Psychodynamic Therapy with CBT

This man saved so many lives

In this video from a recent Beck Institute Workshop, Dr. Aaron Beck describes clinical scenarios in which incorporating certain aspects of psychodynamic theory in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can be helpful in treatment.

Of course quality and superior understanding and appreciation for psychological concepts from this exceptional man.

[@MrMattias87]

It makes sense, I would probably say for psychodynamic therapists on how they can incorporate CBT is through the usage of cognitive distortions for the same reasons as what Aaron Beck said here....to delve into the past that's made them to have cognitive distortions in the first place.

[@Zwantceeto]

Psychodynamic addresses distortions. Also core beliefs (schemas), and changes them through corrective experience.

Why did they cut him off at the beginning? He is a master of CBT. Everything he says is important.

[@GregoryWonderwheel]

The fundamental question is whether "ego repair" as the goal of CBT is sufficient?

How do I know which therepy I need

[@yenlai9788]

often, you will tryouts a few to find the right one. however, if you have some knowledge about different kinds of therapy and you think one or some of them for you is the most convincing and promising one, you can bring this up to your therapists. These days, the preference of the patients are gaining more and more respect and most therapists will try to find a way to accommodate the preference.

His conception of psychoanalytic work shows he is in tune with the ego psychology version of it. Interesting video, nonetheless.

Dr Beck slightly underestimates real work of psychodynamic therapy especially relevance to present distress.

[@mp-pl8rw]

He was a psychiatrist trained in psychoanalysis so it should be obvious that if he believed in psychoanalysis/psychodynamic therapy he would have simply continued his career as a psychoanalyst and wouldn't have created CBT.

[@MrMattias87]

If he did then he wouldn't be saying what part of psychodynamics can you integrate into CBT for a scenario.

[@Zwantceeto]

He does. The training and knowledge required for practicing psychodynamic are much deeper than what is needed for CBT. Transference, countertransference, projective identification, all need to be spotted and maintained in check withing the therapist. CBT practicionners are going to have a very hard time treating PDs without understanding relational dynamics.

But the good doctor highly underestimate the benefit of psychodynamic therapy
