Dr. Busch has worked to modify psychodynamic psychotherapeutic approaches to
target specific problems and symptoms, referred to as problem focused psychodynamic
psychotherapy.[3] Dr. Busch has co-written several manuals and articles on focused psychodynamic approaches to psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, panic[4] and depression.[5] He has been involved in research on panic focused psychodynamic psychotherapy, including the first study to demonstrate efficacy of psychodynamic treatment of panic disorder, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.[6] Additionally, Dr. Busch has written on integrating the theoretical conceptualizations and clinical approaches of psychoanalytic treatments and medication, and coauthoring two seminal papers on treatment triangles, addressing the complex interactions of the psychotherapist, psychopharmacologist, and patient. He has also written about psychodynamic approaches to behavior change[7] and to trauma.[8] He is involved in a research project
using this treatment for Veterans with Post-traumatic stress disorder at the Veterans Administration New York Harbor Healthcare System.[9]
Busch attended Duke University for his undergraduate degree, University of Texas Southwestern medical school, Weill Cornell Payne Whitney psychiatric residency program in New York City, and the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.[10]
