Abstract:
Psychotherapy technique should change as the stages of treatment for stress response syndromes progress. A formulation helps clinicians determine what to do at each stage. This progression should allow for integration of modalities of therapy. Configurational analysis provides 4 categories for organizing clinical inferences. It begins with an assessment of key symptoms and then the states of mind in which the symptoms vary because of degrees of emotional regulation. Unresolved emotional topics that lead to symptoms are then addressed in stages of exploring the meaning of memories. Finally, the self and relational schemas that lead to maladaptive patterns are inferred and lead toward integrative techniques for re-narrations and re-schematizations.
