Tavistock Relationships

This presentation will open by defining and distinguishing 'Interruptions' and 'Disruptions'. Devoting greater attention to the latter, the presentation shall highlight six psychodynamic triggers that set it into motion. This includes unconscious guilt, anxious retreat from higher level conflicts, envious and sadomasochistic attack on the therapist's calm and creativity, fear of separation from the therapist by improvement, shift in the patient's structural organization from a conflict-based to a deficit-based sector and failure of analyst's empathy and attunement. Therapeutic interventions directed at resolving each type of 'disruption' will be discussed and the various proposals made shall be anchored in psychoanalytic developmental theory and highlighted with the help of clinical vignettes.
