Why Are Therapists Walking the Talk? Exploring the Person of the Therapist in Walk‐and‐Talk Therapy
A qualitative meta-analysis examining the perceived impact of supervision on therapeutic competence in psychotherapists who work with minority clients
Psychotherapeutic work with minority clients requires the acquisition of a set of competences that allow therapists to be responsive to specific client needs in this population. Although supervision is widely recognized as an important context for professional development, existing qualitative studies have examined its role in fragmented ways, and no review has systematically explored how therapists benefit from supervision in the work with minor…
Examination of a case of “treatment failure” in long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression
Randomized controlled trials have reported psychoanalytic psychotherapy to improve longer-term post-treatment outcomes in patients with treatment-resistant depression. In this case study, we examine the therapy process of a female trial participant diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression. Structured clinical assessments indicated that the patient's level of depression remained unchanged during and after treatment. Over the course of the the…
The Operators Model of Psychoanalytic Clinical Reasoning
In this paper, the authors develop a model of psychoanalytic clinical reasoning as the inferential process by which analytic therapists are able to arrive at an understanding of the clinical material. Starting from Bion’s theory of functions, the authors propose that a “function” can be thought of as a condition-action sequence that analytic therapists implicitly use to respond to certain configurations of elements in the material by executing co…

Epistemic envy in the keyboard warrior
Scientific thinking styles
Historian and philosopher John Forrester argues that psychoanalysis is characterized by a style of scientific thinking and reasoning that he coins "thinking in cases". Since Freud, case studies have been used as a medium for sharing, demonstrating, discovering, expanding, consolidating and "thinking" psychoanalytic knowledge. In this paper, we seek to clarify and enrich Forrester's idea of thinking in cases. We first attend to issues around the l…
Interactions between obsessional symptoms and interpersonal dynamics
Both classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories stress the importance of interpersonal dynamics in treating neurotic symptoms. Associations between the symptomatic and interpersonal level were formally represented in the symptom specificity hypothesis (Blatt, 1974, 2004), which linked obsessional symptoms to an autonomous interpersonal stance. Findings from cross-sectional group studies on symptom specificity, however, do not converge, po…
A metasynthesis of published case studies through Lacan's l‐schema
Transference in perversion is characterized by specific problems such as a defiant and polemic attitude, erotic transference, projections, and aggression. Such transference poses particular problems in the treatment of perversion and might render analytical work with these patients impossible. The authors propose that Lacan's L-schema can contribute to separating productive from counterproductive aspects of transference as it distinguishes betwee…
