RAPID TREATMENT OF THE PSYCHOTIC PATIENT INTEGRATING ELECTRONARCOSIS AND PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
Abstract
The psychotic patient, no matter what his underlying character structure may be, reacts against deprivation with the defense of a break with reality. Intensive EN quickly produces a state in which gratification of infantile needs becomes the basis for reality contact. While reality contact is sustained with maintenance EN, re-education leads to a secure basis for restructuring psychotherapy. This, in turn, makes the defensive break with reality unnecessary.
