Description
Description:
The importance of therapeutic alliance is described. Therapeutic alliance, transference, and transference acting-out are defined and distinguished from each other and the therapeutic task of helping the patient to convert transference acting-out to therapeutic alliance and transference is outlined. The differences in the form and content of the intrapsychic structure are described to show why different therapeutic techniques are necessary to establish the therapeutic alliance: Confrontation with the borderline and mirroring interpretation of narcissistic vulnerability with the Narcissistic Personality Disorder. A brief case illustrates each.
Educational Objectives:
- To learn how developmental object relations theory differentiates the Borderline Personality Disorder from Narcissistic Personality Disorder
- To learn the clinical differentiation of these two disorders
- To learn how the therapeutic technique of confrontation establishes a therapeutic alliance with the Borderline Personality Disorder, and Narcissistic mirroring interpretation establishes a therapeutic alliance with the Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Helen Singer Kaplan (February 6, 1929 – August 17, 1995) was an Austrian–American sex therapist and the founder of the first clinic in the United States for sexual disorders established at a medical school. The New York Times described Kaplan as someone who was “considered a leader among scientific-oriented sex therapists. She was noted for her efforts to combine some of the insights and techniques of psychoanalysis with behavioral methods.”[1] She was also dubbed the “Sex Queen” because of her role as a pioneer in sex therapy during the sexual revolution in 1960s America, and because of her advocacy of the idea that people should enjoy sexual activity as much as possible, as opposed to seeing it as something dirty or harmful. The main purpose of her dissertation is to evaluate the psychosexual dysfunctions because these syndromes are among the most prevalent, worrying and distressing medical complaints of modern times.
