This study investigates a modus operandi for doing therapy with the sedative hypnotic/opiate drug abuser with borderline or narcissistic tendencies. Definitions of the latter are based on the work by Kernberg and Kohut respectively.In order to wean the drug abuser off his/her drug, it is proposed that, initially, the therapist needs to take over the function of the drug which is a substitute for psychic structure. The therapist becomes a self-object for the drug abuser, providing a matrix, until such time as he/she is sufficiently structuralised and relatively free of the compulsion to drug. The nature of the self-object transference and the therapist's role therein are explored in this study.
Autorenporträt
Soy psicóloga clínica con consulta privada en Johannesburgo, Sudáfrica. Como estudiante en prácticas trabajé en un centro de rehabilitación de drogadictos y mi tesis se basó en esa experiencia. Me interesa especialmente la psicología junguiana y el funcionamiento del inconsciente, explorado a través de la imaginación y los sueños. Llevo 28 años trabajando en este campo.
