title: [Three therapeutic processes of inpatients with eating disorders compared with the Core Conflict Relationship Method (CCRT)].
abstract: In this article the results of a research with the CCRT-method on the psychotherapies of three in-patients suffering from eating disorders are presented. The CCRT describes recurrent internal and interpersonal relationship patterns in narratives. Each therapy session was recorded on tape and transcribed. The CCRT components were identified from the verbatim transcripts. All three patients clearly showed a negative self-perception and despite a more graded attitude regarding other people they felt rejected by the community throughout the entire therapy. The CCRT of each patient was different: patient 1. had conflicts between dependence and independence with increasing autonomy; patient 2. had great symbiotic desires, which at the beginning of the therapy were warded off with a performance ideal; patient 3. showed self-assertion and an increasing level of openness against the community, despite a high level of fear and self-isolation at the onset of therapy. Despite methodological deficiencies the CCRT method proved to be sensitive enough to show similarities and differences among the individual courses of treatment.
