Abstract: | The advent of the relational perspective in psychoanalytic theory has opened up exciting new prospects for integrative psychotherapy.
My own integrative model draws on self psychology and attachment theory for ideas about development and treatment, but also
posits the need for active techniques at times to help with troubling symptoms. In addition to using interventions from behavioral
and cognitive behavioral traditions, my treatment approach has been evolving to include a variety of mindfulness based strategies.
In this article I focus on interventions I use most often to help patients with two major domains: self regulation (which
includes affect management and perspective on the self), and self-initiated behavior change. Case examples illustrating the
interplay of symptom-focused work and more dynamic exploration are provided. |
