Chapter 12.Intervening III: Integrating Supportive and Exploratory Interventions

Integrating Supportive and Exploratory Interventions

Sections

Use of Supportive Interventions | Use of Exploratory Interventions | References

Excerpt

In the preceding two chapters on intervention techniques, we discussed clarification, confrontation, and interpretation (Chapter 10) and transference analysis and the tactics guiding intervention (Chapter 11) in transference-focused psychotherapy—extended (TFP-E). We complete our discussion of clinical techniques in this chapter, in which we cover 1) the use of supportive techniques in TFP-E, followed by coverage of exploratory interventions with 2) management of technical neutrality, 3) use of countertransference, and 4) the process of working through. Although exploratory interventions are central to TFP-E, we begin with discussion of supportive interventions because their use may be needed first in the treatment flow, integrated with the exploratory interventions discussed later in this chapter.
