Objectives: Operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics OPD-2 is a diagnostic procedure that has proven to be valuable for psychotherapy. However, to date there has been only little discussion about the application context and any necessary adaptations to various clinical fields.
Methods And Results: The working group "Implementation of OPD in Clinical Practice" proposes an algorithm for the sequential and adapted use of OPD depending on the clinical context.
Conclusion: Especially for patients who are primarily not open to receiving psychotherapy, e.g., in psychiatric hospitals or general hospitals, OPD can be an important basis for structuring motivating interventions. A stepwise procedure is proposed which is adapted to the usage of OPD in such contexts. Furthermore, also for these contexts, simplified ratings are proposed and discussed for the axes relationships, conflicts and structure. However, complete OPD remains recommended when determining the focus of a psychotherapeutic treatment.

Unlabelled: Changes in conflict pathology during inpatient psychotherapy and their relationship with symptom reduction Background: In psychodynamic psychotherapy, the treatment of a patient's unconscious conflicts represents an essential aspect of psychotherapeutic success. The present study therefore investigated whether 1) the significance of conflict issues changes during inpatient psychodynamic psychotherapy, and whether 2) greater changes in the significance of conflicts are associated with a greater reduction in symptoms.
Method: 113 patients provided information on their symptoms (BSI-18) and the significance of six OPD conflict themes in active and passive mode (12 conflict scales) by self-report on admission and discharge.

In the last two decades, several working groups in the international psychoanalytic community have been interested in the development of systematic tools for psychodynamic diagnosis, case formulation and treatment planning. Such psychodynamic diagnostic manuals are efforts to systematically integrate an enormous and rich amount of historically partialized and dispersed information, but which constitute the substantial contribution of psychoanalysis to the field of mental health. The aim of the present article is to provide an updated review on this kind of systematic tools for diagnosis, case formulation and therapeutic planning, designed for the field of psychodynamic approaches.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the structural abilities of people diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective psychosis using the Levels of Structural Integration Axis of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis System (OPD-2-LSIA).

Background: Adverse childhood experiences were previously identified as relevant risk factors for the development of anxiety disorders. Furthermore, anxiety disorders were shown to be associated with impairments of personality functioning. The objective of this study was to investigate adverse and protective childhood experiences as well as personality functioning, as defined by the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis system, as potential predictors for the speed of recovery during psychotherapy for patients with anxiety disorders.
