In the four years since Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Clinical Manual was published, we have taken to heart the enormous amount we have learned about it from our students and readers. While the core of our Listen/Reflect/Intervene method is largely unchanged, we have worked hard in writing this second edition to produce a manual that truly brings this treatment into the 21st century. Here are the highlights of what's new:

1. Common factors: Outcome studies indicate that common factors, such as rapport with the therapist and expecting positive results, account for at least some of the efficacy of all talk therapies. This is true of psychodynamic psychotherapy as well. In this edition, the role of common factors is featured as a major theory of therapeutic action, and common factors are highlighted throughout.
2. Modern language: Using terms like ego function and super-ego suggested that ego psychology was still the dominant way to think about psychodynamics. In this edition, we introduce new language for a new era. The idea of domains of function self, relationships, adapting, cognition, work/play echoes current constructions such as the NIMH's Research Domain Criteria (RDoCs). Even the ominous word termination is gone.
3. Current research: This manual includes up-to-date research from epigenetics to outcome studies that impacts the way we think about psychodynamic psychotherapy today.
4. Formulation: We have brought our ideas about formulation from our 2013 book Psychodynamic Formulation (Wiley 2013) into this edition, including the Describe/Review/Link method for teaching and constructing formulations.
5. New concepts: Important current concepts and techniques, from mentalization to transference-focused treatment, are included. We have also updated our approach to resistance, defenses, and dreams.
6. Use of this manual: Today, it is critical for both students and educators to have a guide for how to use manuals in conducting and teaching psychotherapy. Our new Use of this Manual section is designed to do just that.
7. Educators' guide: We have included an Educators' Guide in this edition, much like the one in Psychodynamic Formulation, to help educators use this manual to anchor a psychodynamic curriculum. There are also more Suggested Activities to use in class, as well as evaluation tools.
8. Psychoeducational material for patients: Lastly, we have included the Post-Evaluation Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Educational Resource the PEPPER to help you help your patients learn about this important treatment.
