Thanks, skies. I am so used to people doubting that it is a very pleasant surprise to see someone supporting and bothering to look up the exact reference and post a link. I have the article and am not good at posting links or tracking all this down.

It's a thorough and powerful article. It just doesn't cover research data in a boring way. He actually lists qualities or techniques that originate in psychoanalysis that are "borrowed" by other approaches though no one really acknowledges that. So bitter fights say between analytic types and behavioral types break out, when no one really knows what all the terms are that people are fighting about. This article makes a lot of that very clear so even if you end up not choosing psychodynamic therapy, you have a list of specific things that therapists do that work.
