I voted for psychodynamic and psychoanalytical. My T was trained psychoanalytically but practices the more modern form of psychodynamic therapy. No laying on the couch or blank slate T, thankfully. He is very knowledgeable in object relations theory which is related to attachment theory. He uses some of Kohut's techniques of mirroring, idealized parental imago and of course empathy. He uses some of Gill's main theory of re-experiencing. I wrote about this on the book thread where Kahn's "Between Client and Therapist: The New Relationship" describes in a nutshell what Gill's theory was about. I'll quote it here again...

"If remembering is not enough what is missing is re-experiencing. Gill believes that because the client's difficulties were acquired through experience, they must be transformed through experience. They cannot be reasoned away. While it is necessary for clients eventually to understand the roots of their difficulties, that understanding cannot be merely delivered as an explanation. It must emerge as clients re-experience certain aspects of their past. And this re-experiencing must occur within the therapeutic relationship" (1997, p. 57).

I think this is KEY. Your T just cannot tell you how to feel or how you should react to things... you have to experience the difference with them through therapy.
