I mean... I don't think that what I do falls, strictly speaking, under any of the major psychodynamic theories. I'm not sure what really effective psychodynamic therapists do with people in crisis.
Although it may have to do with something strange: I feel that most people who say "let's talk about your feelings" don't actually do enough of, um, talking about feelings. They talk about events, and people's beliefs about the events, and maybe relationships, and maybe symptoms. But there's not nearly enough of the "oh, hey, this is what anger feels like physically. This is what you can use anger for, and what its function is. What do you do with anger?"
