Personality Structure
Understanding personality structure allows the therapist to address issues which may cause psychological resistance in ways that do not increase that resistance or create a phobia of the psychological material, especially in addictions.
Interventions for Resistance “Enjoining”
Using informed consent and an egalitarian approach to psychotherapy can minimize resistance and reduce phobia of psychological material, especially in addictions.
Interventions for Resistance “Resourcing”
Using a step-wise open and transparent approach to the resourcing of the individual.
