Psychoanalytic Couple Therapy: Consultation And Therapeutic Framework

Authors : Lallem Lounes . Belkheir Radhid .

Abstract

Psychoanalytic couple therapy focuses on analyzing the bond that partners have built between them. In preliminary sessions, holistic interventions targeting the couple's dynamics and individual functioning aim to restore narcissistic balance and offer each partner the support necessary to conceptualize their relationship. Therapy involves addressing the couple’s unconscious collusions, within which partners rework their intertwined personal histories in the therapeutic setting. This process enables a shift from projecting internal objects onto the partner to recognizing external objects, ultimately unveiling the richness of otherness and fostering psychological growth.
