Do We Participate As Neutral Object, As Empathic Self-Object, Or As Authentic Subject? Do We Strive To Enhance The Patient's Knowledge, To Provide A Corrective Experience, Or To Work At The Intimate Edge? In An Effort To Answer These And Other Clinically Relevant Questions About The Process Of Psychotherapeutic Change, Martha Stark Has Developed A Comprehensive Theory Of Therapeutic Action That Integrates The Interpretive Perspective Of Classical Psychoanalysis (Model 1), The Corrective-Provision Perspective Of Self Psychology And Those Object Relations Theories Emphasizing The Internal Absence Of Good (Model 2), And The Relational Perspective Of Contemporary Psychoanalysis And Those Object Relations Theories Emphasizing The Internal Presence Of Bad (Model 3) Model I Is About Knowledge And Insight It Is A One-Person Psychology Because Its Focus Is On The Patient And The Internal Workings Of Her Mind Model 2 Is About Corrective Experience It Is A One-And-A-Half-Person Psychology Because Its Emphasis Is Not So Much On The Relationship Per Se, But On The Filling In Of The Patient's Deficits By Way Of The Therapist's Corrective Provision; What Ultimately Matters Is Not Who The Therapist Is, But, Rather, What She Can Offer Model 3 Is About Relationship, The Real Relationship It Is A Two-Person Psychology Because Its Focus Is On Patients And Therapists Who Relate To Each Other As Real People; It Is About Mutuality, Reciprocity, And Intersubjectivity Whereas Model 2 Is About Give And Involves The Therapist's Bringing The Best Of Who She Is Into The Room, Model 3 Is About Give-And-Take And Involves The Therapist's Bringing All Of Who She Is Into The Room As Dr Stark Repeatedly Demonstrates In Numerous Clinical Vignettes, The Three Modes Of Therapeutic Action-Knowledge, Experience, And Relationship-Are Not Mutually Ex Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:JASON ARONSON INCPublication Date:2000-12-01Weight:1.32 lbsDimensions:0.91'' H x 9.02'' L x 5.98'' WNumber of Pages:384Language:English
