- Abstract
- The project relates in some detail the therapy with a married couple. Robert's defenses are obsessive compulsive neurosis, while Mary's are hysterical. Their marriage began more tentatively than most, with Mary continuing to rent a separate apartment and continuing an affair, thus preserving the boundaries that were not available in the incestuous family of her origins. Robert's boundaries were too rigid, and his sexuality highly repressed. In the course of the therapy the marriage is strengthened; the apartment is given up and the affair ended. The author considers major theoretical contributions to the practice of therapy including Margaret Mahler's studies of the first three years of life as early sources of intrapsychic and interpersonal conflict. Object relations theory is explored. Family systems theory focuses on the dynamic interaction within a whole, complementing object relations theory. The therapist is seen as a facilitator in the process of change. She/he must be able to assess growth in both clinical terms and in Christian terms.
