Background:

Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a psychodynamic treatment.
ISTDP demonstrates medium to strong effects in patients with functional (primary) pain.

Purpose of the Study:

Summarize the theoretical background of ISTDP.
Outline the therapeutic techniques used in ISTDP.
Review the evidence supporting ISTDP for primary pain.

Main Methods:

A narrative literature review was conducted.
The review focused on ISTDP's application in treating primary pain.

Main Results:

ISTDP is a highly focused psychodynamic approach.
It targets unconscious conflicts and anxiety symptoms maintained by defense mechanisms.
ISTDP leads to pain reduction or remission by enhancing affect tolerance and processing repressed feelings.

Conclusions:

ISTDP achieves medium to strong effects in primary pain reduction.
It may be superior to cognitive behavioral therapy for primary pain.
Further research is warranted to confirm ISTDP's efficacy.
