Abstract

The author discusses the inappropriateness of insight psychotherapy with interpretative interventions in the treatment of young adolescent girls. Instead, these patients need help with strengthening their internal controls and in gaining a feeling of competence to deal with life's problem. Thus they develop a sense of mastery in both these crucial areas. Ways of achieving these goals are described.
