Abstract: | This paper examines the contribution of a psychodynamic relational perspective to the treatment of substance abuse. Two cases
of different lengths are presented to illustrate the therapeutic factors that contributed to successful recovery and long-term
abstinence. Follow-up information on the successful outcome of both cases was available 7 years after the initiation of treatment.
We discuss the critical role that the experience and processing of enactments played in both cases.
