On Tone, Play, and Healing: Commentary on Riordan's Case Studies
The clinical work reported by Riordan (2012) is discussed, with attention to prosody (tone) and other subjectively inferred aspects of his therapeutic style with narcissistically troubled clients. Consideration is also given to cultural contexts relevant to understanding the reported increase in narcissistic problems in contemporary patients, the personality and genuineness of the therapist as factors in psychological healing, and the role of play and playfulness in reducing the suffering of clients who rely on narcissistic defenses to compensate for a fragile, erratic, or unrealistic sense of self-esteem. The focus throughout is on the less specifiable, more artistic elements of the psychotherapy process
"Selling" Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy, or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is a well-established treatment intervention for anxiety and related disorders. In their comprehensive case study series, Folke, Von Bahr, Assadi-Talaremi, and Ramnerö (2012) offer not only an excellent review of their treatment for Body Dysmorphic Disorder, but also a thoughtful discussion of the importance and impact of ERP in these cases. Our commentary addresses the concerns the authors raise in their discussion of patient reactions to the exposure component of the therapy intervention. Using examples from the authors’ case studies, along with relevant research and clinical anecdotes, we offer suggestions on overcoming some of the factors that may prevent the optimal implementation and application of exposure therapy
The Humanity of the Psychotic Patient and the Human Approach by the Therapist: A Relational and Intersubjective Meeting
Atwood describes a relational, humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic approach to treating seriously mentally ill clients and calls for a restoration of psychology as a human science. In our response, we echo Atwood’s values and explore the phenomena of serious mental illness from the point of view of the patient’s subjectivity and lived experience, contrasting it with reductionist and efficiency-oriented models of mental illness and treatment. In our commentary, we extend his thoughts on treatment of psychotic patients through the lens of contemporary relational and intersubjective theories. We also discuss the place of this work in the current context
