TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Expanding the clinical utility of the concept of developmental help to engage the severely disturbed adult patient in a psychoanalytic process JO - British journal of psychotherapy A1 - Daldin, Herman SP - 521 EP - 532 VL - 10 IS - 4 N2 - In this paper I demonstrate the clinical utility of techniques referred to as ?developmental help? in the psychotherapeutic process with a very disturbed adult patient. The proximal goal of the suggested interventions is to engage the patient in a more ?classical? psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Case material and discussion are provided to clarify and show how these interventions facilitate the process of engaging these difficult to treat patients.
