Presentation Summaries

Robert J. Neborsky, M.D.: Over the past decade, our understanding of
the science of human emotions has expanded but its application to
psychotherapy has lagged behind. The goal of my presentation is to
narrow the gap between science and clinical application. I will
illustrate how a patient’s dynamic unconscious was examined and
repaired under the lens of Attachment Based -ISTDP. I will demonstrate
how accessing the unconscious can rapidly free a patient from a
chronic need to cripple the self and how the unconscious can be
unraveled, through close, moment-to-moment attention to the defenses
as they emerge.

Josette ten Have-de Labije, Psy.D.: Establishing a conscious and
unconscious working alliance is a necessary requirement for a
therapist and patient to take the road to the unconscious. Healing
within ISTDP must involve: the uncovering of painful murderous rage,
guilt, grief and love; understanding and experiencing these impulses
and feelings associated with past traumas; and acknowledging the
causal links between interactions in the past and the present.
Clinical vignettes will show these steps on the road to the
unconscious with a highly anxious woman.

Patricia Coughlin, Ph.D.: Research is an important part of
demonstrating the effectiveness and efficacy of a psychotherapy
technique. I will summarize and present the current outcome research
in ISTDP, including long-term follow-up research. Therapeutic effects
are most effective when they lead to long term change. I will discuss
how ISTDP provides long term change and illustrate how and why
character change is essential for maintaining symptom reduction. My
video case presentation will provide real life illustrations of the
long term effectiveness of ISTDP.
