You ask a really tough question -- is it responsible to practice psychodynamic therapy in a time-limited world? Is it responsible for HMOs and third party payors to limit the # of sessions they'll pay for? Some people are trying to develop "manualized" therapies that incorporate some aspects of long-term psychodynamic therapy but that work faster. I'm not sure whether they include elements to discourage intense transference feelings or that it's even possible to control that. I'm not sure there's any good answer to this, but you raise a very important issue.
