Alina Mueller

Jonathan Shedler

In addition to the video above, Jonathan Shedler has written an engaging introduction to psychodynamic therapy: “That Was Then, This Is Now: An Introduction to Contemporary Psychodynamic Therapy.” You can find it online here. Jonathan Lear has also written a very good essay on what psychoanalytic therapy has to offer, “The Shrink Is In,” online here
