Abstract
Short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) is an evidence-based treatment modality for older adults. Similar to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), STPP refers to a family of distinct but overlapping therapies that share similar features. All STPP modalities are rooted in psychoanalytic theory and share the notion that unconscious emotional conflicts are largely responsible for our patients’ symptoms and suffering.
