Literature in psychotherapy differs from other  areas of clinical  practice. Generally, there are no clinical trials in  psychotherapy  because it is often neither appropriate nor ethical to  have controls in  psychotherapy research. This sometimes makes it more  difficult to  translate research findings into practice. In your role,  however, you  must be able to synthesize current literature and apply it  to your own  clients. For this Assignment, you begin practicing this  skill by  examining current literature on psychodynamic therapy and  considering  how it might translate into your own clinical practice.
