Interpretive Neutrality
Published clinical examples are used to show how both contemporary ego psychological approaches and the relational approach are pre-structural, in the sense that they implicitly appeal to Freud's earlier, layering model.

Viewed in this perspective, interpretive neut…
Ego Analysis and the Relativity of Defense
We suggest that it is recognition of the relativity of defense, of the fact that the same content can be either defense or wish, rather than recognition of unconscious defense, that distinguishes the structural from the topographic theory. The structural theory did not simply add to the topographic theory the recognition that defense can be unconscious; it represented a radical shift in the concept of defense and of the relation between defense a…
The ego‐analytic approach to individual body‐work sex therapy
The term individual body-work sex therapy is proposed to refer to a subfield of the larger field of sex therapy in which paraprofessionals take a variety of roles, from partner surrogate to sensory guide to body-work cotherapist, working from a variety of therapeutic models.

This belief has sustained inappropriately simple strategies for the treatment of individuals des…
