Dr. John C. Markowitz, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University, introduces us to supportive psychotherapy. We discuss the principles that underpin supportive psychotherapy and "common factors" in psychotherapy. Dr. Markowitz helps us to understand where supportive psychotherapy fits into modern psychiatric practice, and provides clinical wisdom about building a therapeutic alliance and pursuing affect.
