Thus, the therapist interprets, as far as possible based on total knowledge of the patient’s present personality structure and history, the potential meaning that the patient may be giving to the therapist’s intervention – as an act of invasive control, hostile dominance, or an arbitrary restriction. The therapist then attempts to link this interpretation with the more general transference interpretations that may be warranted. An essential tactic of this treatment approach is the combination of structuring the treatment, setting limits on the patient’s suicidal behavior, and immediate interpretation of the transference implications of this limit-setting until such transference implications can be fully explored and resolved.
