Sidebar 3.1 Transference-Focused Psychotherapy

Оглавление

Transference-focused psychotherapy is a developing approach that researchers suggest as an evidence-based treatment for narcissistic personality disorder. This approach integrates contemporary object relations theory and attachment theory and focuses on the interpretation of devalued and idealized representations of self and others. These are key components of this approach, and the aim is to expose the underlying reasons for the profound sense of vulnerability and imperfection that results in the hallmark compensatory grandiosity associated with narcissistic personality disorder. Randomized clinical trials suggest that this is a promising innovative combination of psychoanalysis and object relations for improving symptomatic functioning in clients with identified attachment disruptions stemming from trauma (Diamond & Meehan, 2013).
