فهم الطرح : طريقة العلاقة الصراعية الجوهرية The Arabic Version of Understanding Transference: The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme Method

In their classic volume Understanding Transference: The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme Method, Luborsky and Crits-Christoph provided the first concrete validation of Freud’s observations about transference. Using Lester Luborsky’s much-acclaimed Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method, they demonstrated how to measure reliably the recurring patterns in patients’ central relationship and how to explore such patters within psychodynamic psychotherapy and other talking therapies. This new edition is a valuable update for the many clinicians and researchers who use the CCRT method—the best empirical measure of transference in existence—and why it continues to be the instrument of choice for researchers and clinicians alike. All of the chapters in this volume have been revised and updated, and six are entirely new. In Part I, the authors provide a survey of the basics of the CCRT method, including its history, scoring, standard categories, and detailed illustrations of the CCRT scoring of patient narratives. The Relationship Anecdotes Paradigm, a versatile new method for obtaining narratives told on request, is described in Chapter 7. The authors delve deeper into the multiple facets of the CCRT in Part II, where they explore nine directions to find the meaning of the CCRT measure. Also included in this section is a newly expanded study of the parallel of the CCRT within waking and dream narratives. There are also two new explorations of the consistency of the CCRT across time—from age 3 to age 5, and from before psychotherapy to during psychotherapy. In Part III, the book turns to more clinical applications of the CCRT method, including the everyday uses of the CCRT in practice. In the books integrative conclusion, the authors reflect on the convergence of many CCRT findings with Freud’s observations about transference and a set of prescriptions for the continued healthy growth of the CCRT method.

Supportive-Expressive Dynamic Psychotherapy of Depression

The general goals for SE dynamic psychotherapy with depressed patients:

1. To establish a relationship of rapport and trust—the supportive component of SE dynamic treatment. Paying attention to the patient’s expressed goals is very important in establishing rapport and trust and leads to a helpful therapeutic alliance.

2. To use rapport and trust to develop an atmosphere in which patients can express what they are thinking and learn to understand what they have expressed—the expressive component of SE dynamic treatment. Understanding can be increased by interpretations that are focused on the central relationship pattern and the conflicts within it.

3. To facilitate maintenance of the gains of the therapy during the treatment period and after its termination.

Supportive-Expressive Dynamic Psychotherapy for Treatment of Opiate Drug Dependence

This manual is a guide for psychotherapists engaged in supportive-expressive (SE) dynamic psychotherapy with people who suffer from heroin dependence and are simultaneously being treated with methadone. (51 pp.)

Short-Term Supportive-Expressive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

The main techniques are: being sensitive in allowing the patient to form a helping alliance, formulate and respond about the central relationship patterns, understand and respond about where the symptom fits into the pattern, attend to and respond to concerns about getting involved in the therapy and then separating, responses should be timed in relation to the patient’s awareness, frame the symptoms as problem-solving attempts and interventions should be limited in complexity and length. (47 pp.)
