The present study was attempted to critically and comprehensively review the literature for exploring program and concept of psychodynamic formulation and construct model of psychodynamic formulation suitable for residency education and
profitable
to
its clinical applications.
The summary identified through the review of the literature of formulation was as follows:
1. Different systemic approaches to the process of formulation were conceptualized as theoretical models such as psychoanalysis, ego psychological model, central conflict focusing approach, idiosyncratic psychodynamic approach, and biological
approach
etc.
2. Systemic explanations of formulation included multiple viewpoints of 4 divisions of structural, dynamic and genetic factors, These 3 divisions were made for pedagogical purposes, even though a thorough understanding requires the ablitity to
integrate all of the divisions.
3. The author suggested that it preferred to use one primary model such as psychoanalysis or ego psychological approach, introducing secondary models such as self psychological model and/or object relations model to explain features of patient
that do
not easily fit the primary model.
