Summary of the content of intensive short‐term dynamic psychotherapy sessions.

Session	Session contents
First session	We discussed the rules for conducting therapeutic sessions and the initial interview with the implementation of the scan sequence, called experimental therapy, to evaluate the patient's initial problem.
Second session	Follow‐up was performed if the experimental treatment responded appropriately. From this moment, that is, from the second session onwards, according to the type of (11) defense, appropriate and effective interventions have been implemented for each patient's defenses. Types of common tactical defenses and effective interventions related to each defense are summarized below.
1. Working with tactical defenses of closed words (to speak in the wrapper), inclusive cover words. Effective intervention: Doubt, challenge, and defense challenge.
