What kinds of clients would benefit most from pyschodynamic therapy?

Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert video advice on: How do I know if I need a therapist?; What's the first step in finding a good therapist?; What is pyschoanalysis? and more...

Clients that are very intellectualized and who really enjoy learning about the nuances of their personality and who have more time to devote to therapy and analysis, like that theory because it's sophisticated. It's kind of east coast. So they seem to be more oriented toward really understanding all of the things that comprised the elements of their personality development and their childhood. They like that. They benefit from it because the insight really does help them make different choices. And certainly, having a safe space to come and just have an uninterrupted hour which is just focused on yourself is a luxury that people really feel comfortable with and benefit from.
