Dependency in the Treatment of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorders.
Originally published in: Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, 2(4), 79-116.
Kathy Steele and colleagues address the issue of dependency in chronically traumatized patients -- individuals often diagnosed with Bipolar Personality, Complex PTSD, or Dissociative Disorders. They first discuss the concept of dependency, exploring its origins in attachment difficulties and questioning prevailing beliefs before describing its relationship to structural dissociation and countertransference in psychotherapy. Then, using the theory of structural dissociation, the authors offer practical strategies to help clinicians manage insecure dependency within the therapy context. 129 references. "
