Where have you read or heard about this?
I have seen research showing that although medicine and some forms of psychotherapy seem equally effective (the "dodo bird verdict"), combinations of the two do not seem to have significant improvement over one or the other.
The only psychodynamic approach that I know to have proven effects is interpersonal therapy (IPT), and only for a few conditions. I would be interested in reading about studies showing the efficacy of other psychodynamic approaches.
