A transdiagnostic approach to Psychiatric and Psychological Brief Psychotherapy PKP

Based on an integrative behavioural and psychodynamic understanding of the case, PKP Brief Psychotherapy applies evidence-based, disorder-specific behavioural therapy interventions for anxiety, depression, alcohol dependence and chronic pain. In addition, a transdiagnostic intervention and baseline inventory is now available so that patients with less common diagnoses can also be treated across disorders. These will be discussed in this paper. Firstly, the development of the PKP project and its theoretical and conceptual background are described. The current state of research is briefly outlined.
