working in the patient highest ability

in therapy we want to find the patient therah hold so we can help him build his capacity. in order to do so we invaite feelings towards us and work with the patient to put pressure on defenses that hurt them. when we find the therashhold of tolerance we help the patient build his capacity so he can tolerate his inner life more and more and won't need defenses and anxiety to deal with them. this is taken from the International supervision course with jon fredrickson to support the learning of many all over the world. www.istdp-israel.co.il
