Psychodynamic therapy is well suited to the inability to maintain relationships because it provides exactly what the patient's relational pattern has been preventing: a sustained, deepening connection with another person over time. The therapy itself is the corrective experience. As the therapeutic relationship survives the patient's tests, weathering the patient's withdrawal, defensiveness, provocation, or ambivalence, it provides evidence that connection can endure. That evidence, accumulated over months of consistent work, begins to shift the patient's internal expectations about what relationships are capable of.
