Brief Psychotherapy of Stress Response Syndromes

Stress response syndromes are neurotic reactions to serious life events such as loss or injury. The signs and symptoms include episodes characterized by intrusive ideas, feelings or behavior, as well as episodes which include periods or ideational denial, emotional numbing, and behavioral constriction. Preexisting sets of meaning, conflicts, and developmental problems are invariably incorporated into how a person responds to the life event in question. When indicated by the severity or persistence of the reaction, brief psychotherapy can provide both symptom relief and restoration of ongoing personal development. (29 pp.)

Short-Term Dynamic Therapy of Stress Response Syndromes

Treatment of stress response syndromes is centered on completing the information processing cycles initiated by the stress and sometimes this includes facilitation of warding off maneuvers, just as at other times the patient will be helped to set aside unconscious defensive operations. Transference and core neurotic conflicts will be interpreted according to their real relationship to the current stress. This will permit a clear focus for brief therapy.
