Werkzeugkasten des psychodynamischen Psychosetherapeuten

The authors describe the modification of the classical psychoanalytic treatment technique, which was developed in the past decades to treat people with schizophrenic psychosis. The technique which can be used in modified psychoanalytic as well as other psychodynamic settings, was adjusted to the specific problems which occur in the psychotherapy of patients with schizophrenia. This specific modified psychotherapy deals with a paradigmatic experience in the therapeutic relationship to reduce traumatic fear and to overcome interpersonal and intrapsychic dilemmas. This modification increases the possibility to reconstruct the personal history of the psychosis in a dialogical process together with the patient.
