The model builds upon the traditional approach of N. Peseschkian and M. Goncharov’s model from 2014, further enhanced by the basic needs of love, security, and autonomy as outlined by G. v. Witzleben (2014), and the emotions delineated by P. Ekman and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The model affords an in-depth understanding of a patient’s motivations and psychodynamic responses in various situations. It expands upon previous models that focused on conflicts rooted in the connection between primary and secondary capabilities. By considering the simultaneous or sequential existence of different inner conflicts, the model allows for a comprehensive view of a patient’s psychodynamics. While this article only provides an excerpt of the ideas from the author’s recent book, it offers general guidelines for operationalizing and visualizing psychodynamics within PPT, encouraging further exploration and understanding of individual psychodynamics.","PeriodicalId":275300,"journal":{"name":"The Global Psychotherapist","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130849267","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}

Авторы аргументируют использование понятия «видимое отличие» для корректного обозначения людей с особенностями внешности, природа которых напрямую связана с нездоровьем. Клиент с видимым отличием рассмотрен как принадлежащий к особой культуре – «культуре инвалидности», так как его образ жизни вызван или поддерживается физической или психической инвалидностью. Результаты исследования, проведенного с участием практических психологов профессионального сообщества г. Хабаровска (Россия), позволяют подтвердить предположение о наличии специфического барьера, ощущаемого и психологом, и клиентом как противопоставление «Я – Другой». Природа упомянутого барьера связана с культурными особенностями современного социума, так как в обществе сильны установки «культуры полезности» – концепции, при которой ценность человека определяется его способностями к исполнению полезных функций. Транскультуральный подход при построении профессиональных отношений является наиболее адекватным методом, использующим различия как ресурс оказания помощи клиентам.","PeriodicalId":275300,"journal":{"name":"The Global Psychotherapist","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117345999","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 Evaluation Criteria for Psychosomatic Practice (ECPP) has been developed to address this need. It builds upon the updated version of the Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) by incorporating significant psychodynamic factors and restructuring its framework to better cater to the practical demands of clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome monitoring. It offers four axes for clinical evaluation that can be used together or separately, depending on the needs of diagnostic process, treatment, informing the patient, or research: psychosomatic symptoms and complaints, risk factors related to personality structure, triggers, and secondary risk factors. By utilizing the ECPP’s four axes, clinicians can gain a deeper understanding of how psychosocial factors impact the clinical picture and dynamics of somatic disorders and then effectively communicate this knowledge to patients, improving compliance and collaboration in treatment. Additionally, the ECPP’s framework allows for a balance of psychological, physical, and social treatment interventions that can be tailored to the specific needs of the patient, ultimately leading to better treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":275300,"journal":{"name":"The Global Psychotherapist","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121529311","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}

After a brief introduction, we report about a 27-year-old female patient who was treated successfully in a 33-hour-session individual therapy. The applied method was positive psychotherapy, a humanistic psychodynamic method. Additional techniques are explained. The patient wrote more than 500 pages as homework during the treatment period of 10 months. This material gives an insight into the therapeutic process and its transference phenomena from the perspective of the patient. The therapist´s comments conclude this and give an insight into the countertransference. The applied therapeutic techniques, especially the writing, homework, tales and bibliotherapy are discussed.
