Some of the clinical and technical issues raised by Dr. Greene regarding the treatment of patients who have suffered early loss are examined in relation to the conflict and deficit models. It is concluded from a re-examination of the material presented that terrifying drive wishes play a major role in the patient's communicative style and in the development of resistances. It is further suggested that the therapist's fears of the patient's primitive wishes and fantasies and what they evoke in both therapist and patient may lead to blind spots and incomplete interpretations. The technical modifications that are usually deemed necessary because of the patient's ego deficits may, in this connection, reflect the mutual anxieties generated within the secure frame.</p>","PeriodicalId":75941,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic psychotherapy","volume":"9 ","pages":"201-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18168675","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}

It is not an illness of weight and nutrition but a desperate effort to establish a sense of control to counteract deficits in the sense of effectiveness and the self-concept. After a childhood of overconformity, these patients are ill prepared to meet the demands for independence and self-assertion that growing up implies. Traditional treatment has emphasized the restitution of weight, which, however, is insufficient for cure. For effective treatment, reparation of the underlying personality deficits is essential.

These patients typically have significant addictive, psychosomatic, and post-traumatic problems. They show a characteristic picture, now called \"alexithymia.\" This involves an impairment of the ability to recognize, name, or verbalize emotions. The effects manifest themselves mainly in mixed physiological responses, which call attention to themselves rather than to their meaning or story. These emotions, which are less useable as signals, are dedifferentiated and resomatized. There is also a type of \"operative thinking\" with marked limitations in wishfulfillment and drive-related fantasy. There is a diminution of symbolization, and with it an impairment in the capacity to elaborate the kind of fantasies that underly neuroses and the related transferences. They also have a seriously diminished emotional involvement with their objects and a lowered capacity for empathy. Lastly, there are frequently associated problems such as anhedonia, impairments in the capacities for self-care, and affect tolerance.
