ABSTRACT

At the risk of issuing testimonials for myself and this intensive psychotherapeutic approach, I would like to present a number of reasonably successful case examples demonstrating the efficacy of an intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy in patients suffering from schizophrenia or delusional disorder. Of course, not every patient will respond to this intensive psychotherapeutic approach. Some may bolt from treatment, either as a transference reaction or as an acting out of their psychosis. Would that they had stayed and had the chance to reap the benefits of an intensive psychotherapy of psychosis, as did the patients described in this book.
