Abstract

In this chapter we present the empirical support for a number of central psychodynamic concepts. We begin by providing an overview of the basic tenets of psychodynamic theory and then examine the empirical evidence for concepts related to each tenet. We focus on unconscious and subjective mental processes, defense mechanisms, transference, psychodynamic psychotherapy processes, and neuroscience evidence.
