Communicating with the schizophrenic superego revisited: a new technique.
Developing from the author's prior work in which the patient's superego is conceived as more accessible to consciousness than generally believed, this article undertakes greater illumination of technical matters arising in the clinical circumstance. Directly and firmly addressing the superego of the psychotic patient is regarded as having immediate therapeutic benefit, rendering the ego stronger and leading to increased rationality and firmer sense of identity.
