Barriers to Engagement: Overcoming Resistance and Facilitating Integration
In these chapters, the focus is on addressing barriers to engagement through conversation, assessing defense mechanisms, reducing anxiety, and exploring feelings. Dr. Allan Abbass's approach involves clarifying defenses, understanding resistance levels, and promoting psychic integration to navigate through challenges effectively. The content discusses different levels of fragility, defense mechanisms, and strategies for handling tactical defenses to facilitate therapeutic progress. The sessions follow a structured format to work through grief, unlock emotions, and progress towards termination in a methodical manner.
