THE REPARATIVE THERAPY OF KOHUT AND MILLER

Figures & data

Table 1. Kohut´s comments to Miller.

“Kohut’s response was that he would have handled this incident differently.” (p. 14)

“Kohut disagreed with my interpretation…” (p. 15)

“At this point in my reporting of this session, Kohut interrupted to say he wanted to give me some thoughts.” (p. 17)

“In commenting on this section of the hour, Kohut said he thought my remarks to the patient had been good, but he wanted to add something that he felt, while not essential, would definitely have made my interventions richer and more effective”. pp. 18–19)

“However, he disagreed with my additional comment…” p. 22.

“Kohut, of course, took exception to my argument with the patient. He felt it was another instance of my complicating things unduly and not looking at the positive side of the patient’s experience.” p. 24

“Kohut thought this was an error.” p. 26.

“Kohut agreed, but objected to the form in which I made it, because he felt the patient would experience it as if he were being blamed, and this would make the intervention less effective.” p. 27

“Kohut summarized the material that had come up in our discussion. He also indicated what he thought I had handled well, and what had been less than optimum or where I had gone astray in his opinion.” (p. 30)
