Discussion of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy Training During Residency: An Aide to Learning Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

The article discusses the author's views on the benefits of transference-focused psychotherapy training to psychiatry residents. She references and commends the study of Bernstein et al. on the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy and discusses how it can build competence to effectively teach and learn psychiatry or to avoid alienating skeptical students. The author hopes the elective could be translated into a model residency curriculum in the field of psychiatry.
