  • integration of Object Relations Theory and trauma Theory in couples therapy withsurvivors of childhood trauma part ii
    Journal of Analytic Social Work, 2008
    Co-Authors: Kathryn Basham, Dennis Miehls
    Abstract:

    Abstract This is the second of two papers which examines the interface of Object Relations Theory and trauma Theory in couple therapy, The papers demonstrate how different treatment methods are informed by the Object Relations of the partners. In this paper, clinical examples of two couple therapies are put forward which illustrate the theoretical foundations discussed in the first paper entitled “Integration of Object Relations Theory and Trauma Theory in Couples Therapy with Survivors of Childhood Trauma, Part t: Theoretical Foundations.” There, the reviewed literature argued for the efficacy of integrating Object Relations Theory with complex posttraumatic stress Theory in the treatment of couples who had experienced childhood trauma. The papers integrate Object Relations Theory with an adaptation of Herman'S model (1992) of individual treatment of posttraumatic stress syndrome to the therapy of couples.

    Journal of Analytic Social Work, 1998
    Co-Authors: Kathryn Basham, Dennis Miehls
    Abstract:

    This is first of two papers which examines the interface of Object Relations Theory and trauma Theory in couple therapy. The papers demonstrate how differential treatment methods are informed by the Object Relations of the partners. In this paper, theoretical foundations are put forward which inform the therapy of the two couples who are discussed in the second paper entitled “Integration of Object Relations Theory and Trauma Theory in Couples Therapy with Survivors of Childhood Trauma, Part II: Clinical Illustrations.” There, two clinical examples of couple therapy are presented to elucidate the interface of Object Relations and complex post traumatic stress symptomatology. The papers present an integration of Object Relations Theory and an adaptation of Herman'S (1992) model of individual therapy of complex post traumatic stress disorder to the therapy of couples.

  • attachment and Object Relations in patients with narcissistic personality disorder implications for therapeutic process and outcome
    Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Kevin B. Meehan, Diana Diamond
    Abstract:

    This article presents a therapeutic approach for patients with severe personality disorders, transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), a manualized evidence-based treatment, which integrates contemporary Object Relations Theory with attachment Theory and research. Case material is presented from a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) patient in TFP whose primary presenting problems were in the arena of sexuality and love Relations, and whose attachment state of mind showed evidence of oscillation between dismissing and preoccupied mechanisms. Clinical process material is presented to illustrate the tactics and techniques of TFP and how they have been refined for treatment of individuals with NPD. The ways in which conflicts around sexuality and love Relations were lived out in the transference is delineated with a focus on the interpretation of devalued and idealized representations of self and others, both of which are key components of the compensatory grandiose self that defensively protects the individual from an underlying sense of vulnerability and imperfection.

  • transference focused psychotherapy for narcissistic personality disorder an Object Relations approach
    Journal of Personality Disorders, 2020
    Co-Authors: Diana Diamond, Richard G Hersh
    Abstract:

    Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is an empirically validated psychodynamic psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD), based on Object Relations Theory, that has clinical utility for individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Given the effectiveness of TFP for patients with BPD, including a number of patients with comorbid NPD, we have adapted the tactics and techniques of TFP with specific modifications for patients with NPD or narcissistic traits. TFP for NPD (TFP-N) retains core elements of the treatment, including a contracting phase and an interpretive process designed to identify and modify maladaptive mental representations of self and others that underlie the affect and behavioral dysregulation in those with personality disorders including NPD. The major goal of TFP-N is the focus on disturbed interpersonal patterns of relating in the here-and-now of the therapeutic interaction as a vehicle to effect enduring changes in personality organization and real-world changes in the areas of love and work.

  • the circle of security project attachment based intervention with caregiver pre school child dyads
    Attachment & Human Development, 2002
    Co-Authors: Robert S Marvin, Glen Cooper, Kent Hoffman, Bert Powell
    Abstract:

    The Circle of Security intervention protocol is a 20-week, group-based, parent education and psychotherapy intervention designed to shift patterns of attachment-caregiving interactions in high-risk caregiver-child dyads to a more appropriate developmental pathway. All phases of the protocol, including the pre- and post-intervention assessments, and the intervention itself, are based on attachment Theory and procedures, current research on early Relationships, and Object Relations Theory. Using edited videotapes of their interactions with their children, caregivers are encouraged: 1 to increase their sensitivity and appropriate responsiveness to the child's signals relevant to its moving away from to explore, and its moving back for comfort and soothing; 2 to increase their ability to reflect on their own and the child's behavior, thoughts and feelings regarding their attachment-caregiving interactions; and 3 to reflect on experiences in their own histories that affect their current caregiving patterns.

All phases of the protocol, including the pre- and post-intervention assessments, and the intervention itself, are based on attachment Theory and procedures, current research on early Relationships, and Object Relations Theory. Using edited videotapes of their interactions with their children, caregivers are encouraged: 1. to increase their sensitivity and appropriate responsiveness to the child's signals relevant to its moving away from to explore, and its moving back for comfort and soothing; 2. to increase their ability to reflect on their own and the child's behavior, thoughts and feelings regarding their attachment-caregiving interactions; and 3. to reflect on experiences in their own histories that affect their current caregiving patterns. In this paper we describe the conceptual background of the protocol, and the protocol itself. We then present a case study from our current data set of 75 dyads who have completed the protocol.
