A Relational Psychodynamic Perspective on Assimilative Integration
2001
In this paper we discuss recent advances in relational psychoanalytic thinking, and demonstrate how an assimilative approach to integration can be based on this theoretical and clinical model. We describe 3 instances in which active interventions may be used to enhance relationally oriented, psychoanalytic work: by impacting on relationships outside of therapy that maintain pathological patterns, by “filling in” intrapsychic deficits, and by supporting the patient's active efforts at change. We provide clinical examples to illustrate each of these points.
