In this episode, Dr. David Puder sits down with Dr. Fredric N. Busch, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and clinical professor at Cornell and Columbia, to explore Problem-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which is a practical, targeted approach that integrates psychodynamic principles with clear symptom relief, relationship repair, trauma processing, and behavioral change. Dr. Busch explains how to identify core problems in the very first session, build a focused psychodynamic formulation, and track progress on symptoms like anxiety, depression, panic disorder, disavowed anger, and over-responsibility rooted in trauma.
