Their aim is to increase the relative strength of the ego in relation to the superego, id, and external world. While attempting to accomplish this purpose, psychological forces opposing this goal (resistance) are ubiquitous. Both therapies focus in depth upon the therapist/ patient relationship (transference). However, the psychotherapeutic setting and the technical interventions utilized by the two therapies to work with resistance and transference differ dramatically. Part I of this article discusses the evolution of the concepts of resistance and transference from Freud to the present, and how the changes in perspective regarding these clinical phenomena have subtly altered psychoanalysis. The clinical manifestations of resistance and transference in IS–TDP, and how they are managed clinically, are highlighted. The technical interventions utilized to manage the transference resistance in both techniques are compared and contrasted.</p>","PeriodicalId":100703,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy","volume":"14 3","pages":"313-331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/sho.162","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81607817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part I","authors":"David Malan","doi":"10.1002/sho.161","DOIUrl":"10.1002/sho.161","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The present article begins by describing the two basic questions in Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherpy, namely what are the techniques that maximize success, and how may suitable patients be recognized? A consideration of work at the Tavistock Clinic leads to the conclusion that purely interpretative techniques, whether of short- or long-term therapy, are inadequate. In the author's view, Davanloo has developed a technique that largely overcomes these limitations. This is illustrated by an initial interview of great length and complexity, which therefore needs to be divided into two parts. The second part follows. At the end of the second part the practical and theoretical consequences of Davanloo's work will be considered.</p>","PeriodicalId":100703,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy","volume":"14 3","pages":"59-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/sho.161","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74046532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two hemispheres appear to treat differently sensory information, and to play an asymmetric role in the control of behavior. The left hemisphere, which houses the mechanisms of language production, is dominant in this respect, but interhemispheric cooperation is probably a prerequisite for a normal course of behavior. It is proposed that interhemispheric dysharmony is a factor to be considered in the physiopathology of human neuroses and that the work of psychotherapy would be to correct such dysharmony.</p>","PeriodicalId":100703,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy","volume":"14 3","pages":"79-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/sho.160","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91091403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
