  • The role of support in various therapeutic settings is under active discussion and re-evaluation.
  • There's a growing appreciation for support as an integral component of therapeutic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on supportive therapy and its place within psychoanalytic-oriented treatments.
  • To explore the ongoing debate regarding the status and relationship between supportive and explorative psychotherapy variants.
  • To develop theoretical/clinical models for supportive measures to enhance their clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of psychiatric and psychoanalytical publications.
