ABSTRACT
We review five key areas of contemporary psychodynamic practice and research to highlight the contributions psychodynamic concepts can make to clinical psychiatry. These areas are as follows (1) Contributions to understanding the development of subjectivity. (2) The psychodynamic understanding of the effects of early childhood trauma and their consequences in adult life. (3) The vital importance of the psychodynamic notion of the 'holding environment' based on an understanding of the dynamics of the development of subjectivity and trauma which, if applied, might improve the quality of psychiatric care in the public mental health system and enhance both the clinical competence and morale of clinicians in the system. (4) The emerging scientific disciplines of Neuropsychoanalysis and Affective Neuroscience, which illustrate the importance of seriously studying the mind as well as the brain. (5) A brief summary of some research into the clinical effectiveness and efficacy of psychoanalysis and its related psychodynamic therapies.
