Therapeutic Labour - Special Framework of Transformation and Repairment in the Integrative-Unifying Psychotherapeutic Approach. A Case Study
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: In the dynamic of the exploratory and enactment process of the life scenario accomplished within the integrative-unifying psychotherapeutic approach, the discovery of the informational contaminations, emotionally in particular, from one generation to another, constitutes a basic practical-applicative objective. In some therapeutic contexts the most difficult and lengthy process is forgiveness. Blockages induced by the impossibility of forgiveness (both of others and, especially, of oneself) maintain habitual neurotic schemes which constitute real traps in personal development. Objectives: The overall aim of this paper is to highlight, through a psychotherapeutic framework (case study), the necessity to achieve and, especially, to correlate the therapeutic labour of separation, mourning, forgiveness within the integrative-unifying psychotherapeutic approach. The practical-applicative objective is to offer a possible methodological framework concerning the integration of these labours within the psychotherapeutic approach. Results: While the patient works with himself within the therapeutic labour, his insights clarify and break the existing neurotic schemes in his current life scenario, schemes which disturb his personal development. As a result of these insights, and through a supportive and securing therapeutic assistance which plays a transformative and releasing role in this process, the patient changes cognitively, affectively and behaviourally. Conclusion: During the transgenerational plan analysis, therapeutic labours (of separation, mourning, forgiveness), as a methodological phase within the integrative-unifying psychotherapeutic approach, are repairing labours of the trap relationships which generate identity confusions associated with emotional addictions which frequently appear in the life scenario of the individuals involved in the psychotherapeutic approach. Therapeutic labours lead to the emotional release, acceptance of the past, restructuring and gaining a new sense of life experience.
