Summary:A variety of research methods are used to test the efficacy of psychoanalytic treatment, including session-by-session analyses, detailed examinations of therapist-patient exchanges within the analytic hour, and intensive studies of single (or multiple) treatment cases. Taken together, studies in this area confirm the value of psychodynamically oriented treatment for a variety of psychological problems. Some of the topics discussed include mutual verbal influence in the therapeutic hour; links between "repetitive action structures" and patient change; semantic analysis of therapist-patient interchanges; and the use of single-case experimental designs to research the processes involved in insight-oriented therapy.
