Getting the Stuck Unstuck: The man who was addicted to fear.

A one day audio-visual* seminar on Experiential Dynamic Therapy

Frequently patients who were abused as children develop "superego pathology". By this we are describing patients who demonstrate an unconscious need to perpetuate their suffering. The workshop will demonstrate the challenge in getting these patients to maintain and nurture a therapeutic alliance and to relinquish their internal loyalty to their "perpetrator" and thereby setting themselves on a course of genuine healing.

This one day workshop will show the treatment of a single forty year old man who presented with major depression, panic attacks and continuous negative self talk, demoralizing forecasting, and self-sabotage. Psychodynamically he illustrates severe ego-syntonic superego pathology complicated by virtually little or no ego-adaptive capacity. He has been non-responsive to both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.

Despite significant dynamic breakthroughs into the underlying impulse, the patient continued to be terrified by projections of his punitive father and chaotic sadistic mother onto his bosses, colleagues and clients. The patient’s major asset of high apparent motivation and high intelligence hide the patient’s complete submission to his superego.

The presentation shows the difficulties in de-identifying him from his punitive super-ego which used massive self-devaluation and relentless self-directed sadism in order to maintain a sense of stability. The therapist is challenged by the seamless control that the superego exerts over the therapeutic dyad and makes the therapist feel insignificant against its relentless power and control. The presentation shows how the closeness with the therapist is the vehicle which displaces his parents from dominating his life and creating his daily misery.

 

Goals of the workshop:

1. Identifying superego resistance

2. Identifying and working with projection

3. Establishing Working Alliance and Unconscious Therapeutic Alliance

4. Improving Ego-adaptive Capacity

5. Resolving Severe Attachment Trauma (Working Through)
