Intensive individual psychotherapy of schizophrenia. A review of techniques.
I reviewed the substantial psychiatric literature on the technical strategies of intensive individual psychotherapy of schizophrenia. Numerous issues were covered: the nature of intensive psychotherapy and the nature of schizophrenia from the psychotherapist's point of view, elements of the treatment situation, general technical attitudes, general technical interventions (establishing a relationship, elucidating, tolerating, integrating, and working through), special technical interventions with specific symptoms and resistances, and a final brief discussion of mutative mechanisms.
