CONSTANTLY PRESENT: A THERAPY FOR JULIE
Abstract
In this case study, I present a client, Julie, using the model of "Self-in-Relationship" developed by Richard Erskine. I describe the domains open and closed to contact that I observed at the beginning of the therapy. Then I explain how I lead this client to awake the anesthetized poles by accompanying her with involved presence and full contact, while respecting her style of attachment, an avoiding attachment.
