The "therapeutic provision" of "optimal stress"

– necessary if "deep and enduring psychodynamic

change" is the ultimate goal of treatment –

 

"challenge" that offers "impetus"

and "support" that offers "opportunity"

for the transformation of

outdated, rigid defense

into updated, more flexible adaptation,

that is, psychological rigidity

into psychological flexibility.

 

​

TWO GROUPS OF PSYCHODYNAMIC INTERVENTIONS

​

 

(1) "MINIMALLY STRESSFUL" INTERVENTIONS

 

are designed

to "secure the attachment"

and to "set the stage"

​

EMPATHIC STATEMENTS

INTEGRATION STATEMENTS

2 PARTS – BOTH / AND STATEMENTS

PATH – OF – LEAST – RESISTANCE STATEMENTS

DAMAGED – FOR – LIFE STATEMENTS

COMPENSATION STATEMENTS

ENTITLEMENT STATEMENTS

MASOCHISM STATEMENTS

SADISM STATEMENTS

PARADOXICAL INTERVENTIONS

YOU – WOULD – WISH STATEMENTS

WITNESS STATEMENTS

​

(2) "OPTIMALLY STRESSFUL" INTERVENTIONS

 

are designed

to "provide challenge and support"

and to "generate therapeutic leverage"

​

CONFLICT STATEMENTS

classical psychoanalytic perspective

​

DISILLUSIONMENT STATEMENTS

self psychological perspective

​

ACCOUNTABILITY STATEMENTS

contemporary relational perspective

​

THE RULE OF 3

contemporary relational perspective

​

FACILITATION STATEMENTS

existential-humanistic perspective

​

QUANTUM DISENTANGLEMENT STATEMENTS

quantum-neuroscientific perspective

​

​

THE CONSTRUCTION

OF THESE TWO TYPES

OF INTERVENTIONS  IS

BOTH A "SCIENCE"

– analytic –

AND AN "ART"

– intuitive –

 

Clinical vignettes will be offered

demonstrating judicious

and ongoing use of

"minimally stressful" interventions

that either directly or indirectly

"name" the defense

and "optimally stressful" interventions

that first "challenge" the defense

and then "support" it –

​

thereby giving rise to

healing cycles of

disruption and repair

and, ultimately, advancement

of the client

from "rigid defense"

to "more flexible adaptation."
