Abstract: Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the psychodynamic approach in the context of psychoanalytical psychotherapy in clinical interviews conducted by the clinical psychologist. Methodology: It involves analyzing the narrative productions of the interaction patient–psychologist to determine mental processes in a single-case design protocol. This approach integrates the three dimensions qualitative, quantitative and statistical of research. We will test the clinical study with a intensive case or a deeply analyzed single case. Ethics: Our approach answers to the inquiry of evaluation in Public Health, according to the psychoanalytical epistemology into methodology, principle and practice of objectification, intersubjectivity and singularity. By combining research and clinical interviews we would like to respond to be the closest of the patient''s experience and his work of mental development. Results: This work should help to argue the interest of proposals for supportive or psychodynamic psychotherapy in psychiatry as well as medical departments. Being at the heart of the clinic, we focus on the changing processes at work in psychological development work without ever reaching a standardized clinic which would replace the theoretical-clinical orientation of the practitioners.

Abstract: The French Departments of Health and Research have just published the specifications for psychotherapy training. They accredit and guarantee the new – and the last? – stage in the development of psychotherapies, namely that of their “integration.” The latter is based on specific criteria: firstly, methodology: consider all currents, do not create a new system but incorporate methods in the “sequential treatment”: short therapy (about ten sessions), psychotherapy lasting one to two years, long analyses; secondly, epistemology: go beyond (meta-) specific school theories and find the common behaviors, cognitions, social environments, personalities, and unconscious processes; thirdly, clinical: connect methods and specific indications, this is the “pathology-therapy matching” and finally, pragmatism: attain the “nonspecific” factors which constitute 70% of the effectiveness of the therapy: the therapist''s personality, therapeutic alliance, reactions ranging from inter-subjectivity to attachment and transference. The authors propose a 4th degree integration which is not a new system but a new training approach (multidisciplinary team) to create a personal approach for each professional.
