Transition to online transference-focused psychotherapy during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic led psychotherapists to use remote psychotherapy. Considering different psychotherapy orientations, scientific literature has provided interesting results about this transition and its implications. Less is known about whether and how the online format affects manualized psychotherapeutic approaches. The present study explored potential changes in how therapists deliver transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) due to the onl…
Dimensional model of adolescent personality pathology, reflective functioning, and emotional maltreatment
These insights carry substantial clinical implications, especially for devising integrated, trauma-informed strategies for adolescents with personality pathologies. This is particularly relevant for enhancing mentalizing and bolstering personality consolidation among adolescent CEA survivors
Videoconferencing psychotherapy from a psychodynamic point of view. A qualitative analysis
There is a growing interest in delivering videoconferencing psychotherapy (VCP) due to the enormous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our lives since the beginning of severe restrictions worldwide in March 2020. Scientific literature has provided interesting results about the transition to remote sessions and its implications, considering different psychotherapy orientations. Less is known about whether and how VCP affects psychodynamic psychoth…
Childhood sexual abuse and attachment insecurity
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is considered an important public health concern that can derail the developmental course of children. Given that children rely upon their attachment figures when they experience upsetting events, attachment organization may play a critical role in predicting victims' adaptation to CSA. To date, no studies have delineated the unique and interactive contributions of these two risk factors in the prediction of psychopat…
Costs of Not Getting to Know You
Parental reflective functioning ( PRF ) is a robust predictor of parenting sensitivity and secure infant attachment, but its assessment requires extensive resources, limiting its integration into research and clinical practice. The Mini‐Parent Reflective Functioning Interview (Mini‐ PRFI ) assesses the parent's capacity to mentalize for his/her 6‐month‐old infant (rated using the PRF coding system; Slade et al., 2004, PRF coding system and Slade …
Persistent and Transitory Sexualized Behavior Problems in Children
Reflective Functioning and Personality Organization
The aim of this study was to examine whether mothers who manifest insensitive and disconnected behaviors in interaction with their infants differ in terms of maternal reflective functioning (RF), personality organization, and histories of abuse. A total of 86 mother–infant dyads, 28 of them with histories of abuse, participated in the study. RF was assessed with the Adult Attachment Interview (C. George, N. Kaplan, & M. Main, 1985), and personali…
The mirror paradigm
Intergenerational Transmission of Attachment in Abused and Neglected Mothers
There are still important gaps in our knowledge regarding the intergenerational transmission of attachment from mother to child, especially in mothers with childhood histories of abuse and neglect (CA&N). This study examined the contributions of reflective function concerning general attachment relationships, and specifically concerning trauma, as well as those of maternal attachment states of mind to the prediction of infant attachment disorgani…
O papel protetor da mentalização de experiências traumáticas
Já é amplamente reconhecido que as experiências de abuso e de trauma na infância, particularmente as que se passam em um contexto de apego sem segurança, prejudicam o desenvolvimento do sentimento fundamental de segurança em relação ao outro, deixando, desse modo, as vítimas com um sentimento de solidão e com afetos e dores que não podem ser partilhados e associados ao trauma. Por sua vez, quando essas crianças crescem e tornam-se pais, permanece…
La GAC 1
Cet article met en relief le rôle central des réactions contre-transférentielles dans le traitement de patients limites selon l’approche focalisée sur le transfert de Otto F. Kernberg (TFP : Transference Focused Psychotherapy). Une grille d’analyse du contre-transfert (GAC) est présentée pour décrire la diversité des activités mentales dans lesquelles le thérapeute s’engage pour comprendre et parvenir à utiliser les réactions que déclenchent en l…
La psychothérapie focalisée sur le transfert (TFP) et le fonctionnement réflexif 1
Le fonctionnement réflexif (FR) est un concept relativement nouveau et renvoie à la capacité d’un individu d’interpréter les comportements humains et les réactions interpersonnelles en termes d’intentions sous-jacentes et d’états mentaux. Il est particulièrement important dans le processus de régulation des affects et de la gestion des relations interpersonnelles difficiles. Comparativement à la thérapie comportementale dialectique (DBT) et les t…
Countertransference as the therapist's mental activity
Countertransference as the therapist's mental activity
The Countertransference Rating Scale (CRS; Normandin & Bouchard, 1993) was used to compare the spontaneous written reactions ― to two clinical vignettes ― of beginning (less than 1 year) and experienced (10 years or more) psychoanalytically oriented psychologists. The CRS distinguishes three major mental states: objective/rational countertransference is a detached, nonparticipating, observing position; reactive countertransference is an unconscio…
Countertransference as the therapist's mental activity
Countertransference as Instrument and Obstacle
A comprehensive and descriptive approach to counter-transference phenomena is proposed. Three types of mental activity are distinguished: the objective-rational attitude is an adaptive, relatively nondefensive mode of observation; the reactive mental state corresponds to the classical notion of unconscious counter-transference as an obstacle and a defense; by contrast the reflective attitudes involve preconscious and conscious psychical activity.…
