  Someone that I "worked" with was not work at all. She was constantly labeling up and down the wazoo. She thought she was so smart by using all these fancy words that I couldn't take her abuse anymore. That's why I've come to see the truth about pschology, how full of crap it actually is. It's not a field. It's something made up, people making money off of other people, charging crazy fees. She was negative and discouraging. I honestly think she should be held accountable and have her "lisence" taken away. It's just word play.

  I'm wondering if this pertains to high functioning autistic clients who often use masking as a way to defend themselves from showing there true autistic self. They would smile and laugh in order to appear socially acceptable. Do we help them see this defense?

  Thanks Patricia for the video 👏! When I listen to those steps you mention, I am constantly amazed by Davanloo's ability to operationalize the psychodynamic technique (which makes it much more similar to cognitive behavioral therapy or integrative therapy in my opinion). My question is when patients identify their defenses, cost and function, but continue using them since they are automatic ways of responding (or habits)... By definition, defenses are unconscious and operate immediately when threatening feelings and anxiety appear... .so they can understand and modify them in the session but then activate them again outside the session. It is a definitive change to these defenses possible? I believe that they can be made more flexible but difficult to completely eradicate... The truth is that I increasingly doubt that the personality structure or deeply rooted traits can be changed. I think that people change but very gradually and making some traits more flexible but they do not change diametrically. Thank you for your comments!

  We have a great deal of evidence - both on videotape and in empirical investigations (check out Allan Abbass's website for an expanding list of studies) - that we can achieve deep and lasting character change with ISTDP. Once the patient relinquishes defenses in favor of experiencing his true feelings, the unconscious opens, revealing the source of the conflicts responsible for the patient's suffering. The past becomes present and can be resolved at the source. Healing and freedom result. Returning to defensive avoidance makes no sense in such a situation. As "the Masochistic Artist" said, at 5 year follow up, "I vaguely remember how I used to turn my anger back on myself and allow others to use and abuse me, but it's inconceivable that I would ever do that again." There are countless examples of this in all my books. Have a look!

  I have a defence where, for example, I tell the psychologist about something troubling, and I'll laugh about it. I'll laugh about the insanity of the situation, where it's not REALLY funny at all.

  I’m wondering if part of the reason I feel afraid most of the time, like I’m in a hostile world full of people ready to attack me at any moment, is because I am projecting my own repressed rage? (especially towards my mother and a few other family members)? She used to slap me in the face for talking back-it felt like a deep betrayal to me as a child. Also, when I think back, I wonder if this rage was even mine to begin with? Or have I introjected my mother’s rage at me that she expressed (sometimes abusively) towards me when I was a little girl? It feels like I received other peoples’s split off bad parts, they became mine, but I didn’t want them either…so I split them off and project them onto my environment…but initially it WAS my environment (mother) attacking me…I’m kind of confused and not sure if I’m understanding it correctly. I just know that my life is worse because fear takes up the space where love should be.

  Thank you, very interesting. I had ISTDP therapy in Germany for 6 Months. I have to be honest and say that I was even more annoyed that I ended up having to reconcile with my parents and the people who hurt me. I finished the therapy full of anger and disappointment. May be I have to try it again with another Specialist. I feel a lot, I can feel the pain from everyone from my past und present. But I felt me alone as someone who needs help in this therapy. It was like to give everything to others und stay alone there (emotional). Does ISTDP have some kind of religious touch? I feel myself not comfortable with outcomes of this therapy. It can also be, that I did not understand the core of this therapy. It is complicated for me. Thanks.

Where I live, these suicide helplines say they can only talk to you for 15 min and then it's literally bye Felicia with no further support. I have a psychologist but I have to wait for the next appointment and, though I'm BPD, I am totally aware of and respectful of boundaries and know that I cannot and will not expect her to talk me through a crisis at 10pm or anytime outside of our scheduled session. I respect the boundaries of our alliance. I have no family and only casual friends. Are there any online resources we can utilise in times of crisis? I don't have these bpd suicidal episodes often. I was in remission for 25 yrs but suddenly it's back and I feel totally alone.

  As a patient, or client as we are called in my neck of the woods, what I need from therapy is to know I'm speaking to a real person and not to a method coming from a textbook with a therapist who is stuck behind their own wall and doesn't even know it. I think this is what therapists miss. They forget that we need a connection more than a method. Yes, within professional boundaries of course, but if the therapist is inauthentic, the patient will pick up on the incongruence and that just makes old wounds of ppl hiding and lying to us re-emerge.

  I had a question Patricia. If ISTDP views the therapist as the expert, then why the need to get agreement from the patient about the problem, and how to go about solving it? Shouldn't the "expert" just engage in the therapeutic interventions/approaches that they (in their expert opinion) deem would best help the patient? Why the need for collaboration and consideration of patient's preferences for treatment if we are going in, a priori, with the stance and positionality of being the "expert"? (before even meeting the patient)

• 
  @patriciacoughlinphd1852Ай бұрын

  These concepts are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the patient's view of the therapist as skillful and competent (as opposed to simply supportive) is associated with high levels of alliance. We also know from research that establishing and maintaining a collaborative alliance is most highly associated with positive outcomes. It is possible to take charge by asking the questions you need answers to, while still working for consensus. If you think about surgery, for example, the surgeon is an expert and the patient needs to trust him or her but at the same time has the option to agree or disagree with the surgeon's recommendations. Does that help?

  I agree with you Patricia and I respect this perspective greatly! One thing I would like to add is that often (in my experience) the pathologising comes from the patients and not from us. I have a patient who I'd been working with for a year (thinking I was helping) who told me one day that her GP told her she had BPD and this explained all her struggles, she seemed disappointed with me that I hadn't diagnosed her as such, and from then on really framed herself as "BPD"... and it just seemed to me that it made her weaker. I was thrown by this experience. Also I have so many clients tell me they have ADHD or autism and these are the reasons they can't do things (I'm sure you experience this too) and I'm the one trying to focus on their potential and strengths, while they argue for pathology... This seems like an epidemic not just caused by mental health professionals and institutions, but something in the zeitgeist where diagnoses are seductive, and every human variation is a "disorder". I think it's complex, because ironically these disorders create identities which lead to pseudo-communities (mostly online) where people connect through their shared "disorders". Which I think can alleviate loneliness in a time of extreme social disconnection! I'm sure you're aware of all this - just wanted to add it to the conversation :) Love your work. - Beccy.

He noted the 5 are: 1. Repulsion 2. Transcendence of the self 3. Discipline 4. Compassion 5.

I can only assume that fantasy is filling some need that I have yet to find a way of meeting elsewhere. If my therapist isn't the most important person in my life then my life feels empty.
