Much of my work is informed by an approach referred to as Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy or ISTDP. There is a larger body of research supporting the application of ISTDP as a cost-effective approach in the treatment of anxiety, panic,depression, personality disorders (narcissistic, borderline, paranoid), and medically unexplained symptoms. Here is a nice overview of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy.
