Description: In Brief Dynamic Therapy Over Time, Hanna Levenson demonstrates how a time-efficient therapy can be brief and yet deep - how a short-term therapy can create long-term change. The goals of the therapy are to create corrective interpersonal experiences and new understandings designed to undermine this dysfunctional cyclical pattern. Dr. Levenson works with a young woman who on the surface is very positive and who seems to be living a happy life. It becomes apparent even in the first session that the client has suffered for years from depression. Dr. Levenson works with the client to help her experience and express  her feelings within the sessions, and learn why she needed to suppress them earlier in life. As the therapy progresses, the client moves from hiding her emotions to sharing them, both in the session and with those closest to her.
