The authors are currently conducting a large randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of brief psychodynamic‐interpersonal psychotherapy with outpatients who have been unresponsive to conventional psychiatric treatment. In this paper we describe the study and the psychodynamic‐interpersonal model of therapy employed in the treatment limb of the study. We also describe therapeutic work with three patients whose presentation is representative of the outpatients recruited into the study.
