ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses that the patient, as a result of her participation in the closed circuit training programme, arrives at the interview in a mobilised state. Very few interventions are needed for her to fully experience the neurobiological pathways of murderous rage and guilt. What is needed, however, is a careful application of the process of MUSC. The phase of MUSC runs parallel to the central dynamic sequence. Some clinicians have argued that the only goal of IS-TDP is to gain direct access to the patient's unconscious and evacuate the reservoir of guilt. Such a reductionist approach is short-sighted and does not reflect the richness of the current day theories and techniques of Davanloo. Without the thoughtful application of MUSC throughout all phases of the interview, the patient cannot achieve an understanding of their resistance, their destructiveness, and their capacity for change in life.
