  • Title: [The 'third relationship': triangulating functions in analytic child and adolescent psychotherapy].
    Author: Bauers B.
    Journal: Prax Kinderpsychol Kinderpsychiatr; 1993 Apr; 42(4):124-31. PubMed ID: 8493201.
    Abstract:
    Whereas the theoretic concept of "triangulating" up to now was used to explain development processes from dyadic to three-person-relationships in the course of releasing and individuation (Abelin, 1971; Rotmann, 1978) or to illuminate misdirected developments and therefore to gain a better understanding of the patient in clinical work (i.e. Ermann, 1985; Rohde-Dachser, 1987; Hirsch, 1988) in this article the author describes the practical therapeutic relevance in analytic child and adolescent psychotherapy with the use of a case example. Analogous to the significance of the father for individuation and releasing in the early development of the child the author shows the actual "triangulating" action of the therapist in the depth psychological treatment of a 14 year old youth and in the accompanying psychotherapy of the parents. In closing the conditions which allow for change within all participants and lead to restructuring the relationships are discussed.
