A special technique is described, to be used at the beginning or in the course of psychotherapy, designed to gain access to inhibited, silent or depressive patients. For this purpose, the client is presented with an assortment of natural stones, feathers or pieces of wood (driftwood) in a rich variety of colours and forms and invited to choose and handle whatever object most attracts him/her. In the resulting interaction with the therapist, the concrete object acts as a mediator and "transitional object" in the literal sense of the term, namely as a "third object" between the patient and the therapist. This real object (stone, feather or piece of wood), which the patient can feel and handle, helps to enlarge the "playing field" of the dyadic patient-therapist relationship and to reduce anxiety in inhibited and depressive clients. Feeling the object helps the patient to evoke memories and associations and to perceive and address inner emotions hitherto pent up inside him/her. With the help of three case studies the technique of using such natural materials is described.
本文描述了一种特殊技术,可在心理治疗开始时或过程中使用,旨在接触那些内向、沉默或抑郁的患者。为此,向来访者展示各种颜色和形状丰富的天然石头、羽毛或木块(浮木),并邀请他们选择并触摸最吸引自己的物品。在随后与治疗师的互动中,这个具体的物品从字面意义上讲充当了媒介和“过渡性客体”,即在患者和治疗师之间的“第三个客体”。这个患者能够触摸和感受的真实物品(石头、羽毛或木块),有助于扩大患者与治疗师二元关系的“互动范围”,并减轻内向和抑郁来访者的焦虑。触摸物品有助于患者唤起记忆和联想,感知并处理此前一直压抑在内心的情绪。通过三个案例研究,描述了使用此类天然材料的技术。
