The history of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy in Denmark is briefly described. An important element in developing the psychodynamic thinking in the public mental health service took place in the 1970s where several British psychoanalysts and group analysts helped Danish therapists and analysts starting regular courses in psychoanalytic psychotherapy that were attended by a few hundred psychologists and psychiatrists. The implementation of psychodynamic thinking and practice in the Mental Health System followed over the next two decades, although the Danish welfare system did not economically support patients referred to psychoanalysis, long-term or intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy. At the new millennium, opposition to psychoanalysis and psychodynamic thinking made it difficult to sustain the relative high level of involvement of psychodynamic practice in both mental health institutions and private practice. The reasons for this are suggested as well as comments on the future.

简要描述了丹麦精神分析和心理动力学心理治疗的历史。在公共心理健康服务中发展心理动力学思维的一个重要因素发生在 1970 年代，当时几位英国精神分析师和团体分析师帮助丹麦治疗师和分析师开始了精神分析心理治疗的常规课程，数百名心理学家和精神病学家参加了这些课程。在接下来的 20 年里，精神卫生系统实施了心理动力学思维和实践，尽管丹麦福利系统没有在经济上支持转诊到精神分析、长期或强化精神分析心理治疗的患者。在新的千年里，对精神分析和心理动力学思维的反对使得精神动力学实践在精神卫生机构和私人实践中的相对高水平难以维持。提出了这样做的原因以及对未来的评论。
