This study explores a dialectical therapy approach for iatrogenically infantilized patients. The method encourages independence and growth by focusing on present behaviors rather than past experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Psychotherapy
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Therapy

Background:

  • Iatrogenic infantilization can hinder patient progress in psychotherapy.
  • Traditional therapeutic approaches may inadvertently foster dependency and regression.

Observation:

  • A cotherapy team utilized a dialectical approach with an iatrogenically infantilized patient.
  • The focus was on the patient's adult self, the present moment, and behavioral modification.

Findings:

  • This approach discouraged dependency and regression.
  • It actively promoted patient growth and independence.
  • The study questions the efficacy of continued treatment for patients unresponsive to prior psychotherapeutic interventions.

Implications:
