Evaluating a Psychodynamic Approach Last week, you learned about psychodynamic theories. This week thus far, you have read about, seen, and heard clinicians use a psychodynamic theoretical orientation, or approach, with a client. In this Discussion, you are asked to consider the strengths and weaknesses of using a psychodynamic approach with a specific client. To prepare for this Discussion: • Review the readings, including Client Profile 1: Abby, and media segments for this week. • Consider what kind of client might be best served by a psychodynamic approach. • Think about how a psychodynamic approach might work with Abby from Client Profile 1. With these thoughts in mind:

brief summary of the strengths and weaknesses of using a psychodynamic approach in working with Abby. Be sure to provide evidence to support your decision.
