In Effective Psychoanalytic Therapy of Schizophrenia and Other Severe Disorders, Dr. Bertram P. Karon demonstrates this psychoanalytic approach to treating clients who have severe mental disorders. This approach focuses on providing a strong, safe relationship in which to explore the symptoms and possible sources of the client's disorder. In this session, Dr. Karon works with a 29-year-old woman with a possible history of childhood sexual abuse who has lately been hearing voices and exhibiting paranoid behaviors. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events and preceding sessions
This is a psychoanalytic approach that assumes that all the symptoms are meaningful and are related to the life history as subjectively experienced. The unconscious is taken seriously, and everything psychoanalysis has learned about human development and therapy is relevant.
Bertram P. Karon, PhD, is a professor of clinical psychology at Michigan State University, who received his PhD from Princeton University. He is currently president of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Council and past president of the American Psychological Association's (APA) division of psychoanalysis, as well as of Psychologists Interested in the Study of Psychoanalysis and of the Michigan Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology.
