  • Title: [Psychotherapy of sociopathic and objectively dangerous patients. Psychotherapy of sociopathic patients: prerequisites of the therapist and the environment. Parameters of therapeutic technics].
    Author: Lobos-Wild R.
    Journal: Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol; 1990 Aug; 40(8):307-15. PubMed ID: 2236474.
    Abstract:
    The author proposes that the environment involved in the treatment of sociopathic patients should not foster splitting mechanisms. Preconditions for the therapy and requirements for the capability of the psychotherapist are discussed, especially his attitudes, the cohesion of his own self and his emotional reactions towards his patients. Two case histories are presented to demonstrate the type and timing of the interventions. The therapeutic modality for the treatment of sociopathic disorders takes into consideration the superego distorsions and the defense mechanisms, specially acting out, regression and splitting.
