Once an enactment breaks down, the therapist intervenes in one of two ways: commenting on what went wrong, or simply pushing them to keep going. For example, if a father responds to the suggestion to talk with his twelve year old daughter about how she’s feeling by berating her, the therapist could say to the father: “Congratulations.” Father: “What do you mean?” Therapist: “Congratulations; you win, she loses.” Or the therapist could simply nudge the transaction by saying to the father: “Good, keep talking, but help her express her feelings more. She’s still a little girl; she needs your help.”
