Multidimensional unconscious structural changes in Davanloo’s intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. Part I
Journal Title: Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Davanloo’s intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy is a brief dynamic therapy that focuses on transferencefeelings and resistance. By doing so, therapist and patient can work together to enable the patientto have a full experience of unconscious feelings – namely rage, grief and guilt. However, this experienceof unconscious feelings is not the only therapeutic factor. In addition, the therapist must expertlyapply multidimensional unconscious structural changes. Doing so allows the patient to make conscioussense of unconscious experiences. This article focuses on the Montreal Closed Circuit training programme,which is a new teaching format for Davanloo. A case will be presented which will highlight the applicationof multidimensional unconscious structural changes in a highly resistant patient.
