Bent Rosenbaum – Reflections on Guidelines for Supportive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Persons Experiencing Their First Episode of Schizophrenia-Spectrum Psychosis
THE LETTER 55 & 56 Spring/Summer 2014, pages 53-64.
The Danish National Schizophrenia Project is used as a background for presenting some phenomenological characteristics of persons in psychotic states of mind, some psychoanalytic concepts grounded in the phenomenology of the psychotic self, and some elements in the supporting psychoanalytic approach. Finally, the concept of cure will be presented as an increased capacity for symbolisation.
