摘要:

SummaryThis paper reports an 18 session treatment in brief focal psychotherapy of a case that presented with at least two major contra‐indications for this type of therapy: 1) childhood deprivation and 2) the danger of intensification of a depressed illness. This paper shows that the recent traumatic event, in this case a highly ambivalent pregnancy, can help to destabilize the armour of a defensive structure, and bring to the surface primitive fears and conflicts which cause severe symptomatology and distress but which become more accessible to the patient's awareness and more amenable to interpretation. The acuteness of the disturbance brought about by the traumatic event increased the patient's motivation and need for treatment, speeding up the therapeutic process. This brief psychotherapy shows the importance of the working through of the patient's intense hostility towards her mother and towards the therapist in the transference, if a solution of murderous feelings towards her baby are to be achieved. As far as technique is concerned, this paper shows that a thorough interpretation of the negative transference from the early stage of therapy, an unusual number of transference/parents interpretations and the working through of the patients's anger and grief about termination seemed to be essential factors correlated with a positive outcom

摘要:

SummaryThe therapeutic process that was significant for the recovery of two traumatised children is described. Exploration of the meaning of the trauma for the children led me to believe that they had experienced it as their internal and external parents failing to protect them from disaster. In addition to this, they felt that their parents had further failed them by being unable to contain their children's distress after the event.The therapy developed in such a way that I found that I had to be in a state of mind which was like that of the devoted mother's reverie for her infant. This helped the children to feel totally contained again and, having re‐introjected this experience, they slowly started to recover and face the demands of growing up. Attention is drawn to the similarities of this therapeutic process to normal family development.Both children had extreme difficulty in talking about their traumatic experience, and could only communicate it to me by projection in the transference relationship. In view of their immaturity, verbalisation may not be as important or helpful for these children as containment of the non‐verbal communicat
