AbstractThe first part of the article presents a therapy for dissociated and traumatized clients. It is client-centered and experiential of orientation, with two phases. Prouty's approach addresses the clients' dissociative process in the first phase. Another therapeutic approach is needed in the second phase, when dissociation decreases and clients begin to integrate their trauma. The second part of the article deals with incidents near the end of therapy, when some clients relapse and function as they did in an earlier stage. This confuses therapists, who don't expect problems at this stage. These problems appear to contain crucial information. Once these are attended to properly, the therapy can resume its course. Examples are given of incidents and their underlying mechanisms. These late incidents require alertness, action, and exploration. When therapists have difficulty with this extra but crucial work, it is suggested that they find a replacement therapist. |
