ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the central dynamic sequence of Davanloo's IS-TDP and gives a case vignette that illustrates the major mobilisation of the unconscious and the total removal of resistance. The therapist begins the interview with an emphasis on honesty. While the patient is honest, she also prefers to "let sleeping dogs lie". This intervention alone (the emphasis on honesty) tilts the resistance in the transference and serves to create a foundation for a high rise in the TCR. After the tone of the interview is set, the task of the therapist is to look constantly for the twin factors of resistance and transference. The therapist must search for the resistance at all times and mobilise the resistance wherever and whenever possible. In this interview, the therapist formulates that the main source of resistance is in the zone of the grandmother.
