| Description: |
Whether the focus is on enhancement of knowledge (Model 1), provision of experience (Model 2), engagement in relationship (Model 3), or facilitation of flow (Model 4) and whether the focus is on the mind or the body, it is crucial that the therapist be ever attuned to the patient’s capacity to tolerate stress. Therapeutic intervention will necessarily involve a complex interplay between challenge (when possible) and support (when necessary). This regulatory input on the therapist’s part will provide the impetus for the patient’s temporary disorganization and then compensatory reorganization - at a higher level of therapeutic understanding and integration. The working through process, therefore, will involve these recursive cycles of disruption and repair, partial collapse and adaptive reconstitution in response to the therapist’s challenge and support. Numerous clinical vignettes will be offered to demonstrate transformation of resistance into insight (Model 1), relentless hope and refusal to grieve into acceptance (Model 2), unwitting enactment of unresolved childhood dramas into accountability (Model 3), and constriction into ease of flow (Model 4). |
