A survey of 20 older psychodynamic psychiatrists was conducted to determine practice metrics, venues of clinical care, and clinician's subjective observations. The post-pandemic normalization of teletherapy, societal acceptance of psychoactive medication into the practice of psychotherapy, significant advances in medical care for older persons, and increased utility of computer technology have enabled clinicians to work into their later years. The integration of supportive therapeutic techniques with psychoanalytic principles coupled with long-term weekly or biweekly treatment has largely replaced intensive formal psychoanalytic therapy of an earlier era.

In this issue of , we publish the clinical article "Older Psychodynamic Psychiatrists: Practice Metrics and Subjective Observations," by Douglas Ingram and Myron Glucksman. The authors queried in depth a convenience sample of 20 psychodynamic psychiatrists 65 years of age or older who were still actively practicing and reporting deep satisfaction. A similar unpublished study by Judith Kantrowitz of psychoanalysts in the same age group found high degrees of investment and engagement in their survey participants.
