Timelimit as an impulse for growth in psychotherapy with psychotic problems

ARTICLEVan de Veire, Chris - 41–4 (2003)

SUMMARY

The case that we present in this article - a therapy consisting of 48 sessions with a man with psychotic problems - can be read as an argument to maintain the supply of long term therapy within the system of healthcare. Simultaneaously, the case illustrates how a more integrating approach accelarates and intensifies certain processes in psychotherapy. Per phase we indicate which therapeutic approach or intervention lead specifically to a shorter and more efficient process: the preliminary installation of a timelimit, a manifest presence of the therapist, accentuation of the alliance between client and therapist, an accent on the healthy aspects of the client, or an action oriented process with tangible goals and frequent use of cognitive structuring interventions.

KEYWORDS
