The author presents some new theoretical aspects and therapeutic implications of the concept of Couples in Collusion, (22), first published in 1975. According to this concept, the emotional attraction in the selection of a mate is based on a fascinating, mutual, and alarming theme, shared by both partners in order to be mastered together. The partners unavowedly start colluding to compensate for former frustrations and to repress fears of intimacy. After some time of living together and in defense of repressed feelings, they may enter into an escalation of the dysfunctional interactional pattern. Experience shows that severely neurotic personalities don't necessarily start colluding, provided that their partners don't gratify regressive needs or reinforce their defenses but help to cope with the frustrations of these unfulfilled regressive wishes. Therapies based on the concept of collusion aim at the improvement of intradyadic and extradyadic boundaries and the depolarization of extreme progressive-regressive behavior. These goals can be reached by both systemic and psychodynamic techniques. The concept of collusion may serve as a guide for this therapeutic process.
作者介绍了“共谋伴侣”概念的一些新理论观点及其治疗意义。该概念于1975年首次发表。根据这一概念，选择伴侣时的情感吸引力基于一个引人入胜、相互且令人担忧的主题，双方伴侣共享这一主题以便共同应对。伴侣们在不知不觉中开始共谋，以弥补以前的挫折并压抑对亲密关系的恐惧。在共同生活一段时间后，为了防御被压抑的情感，他们可能会使功能失调的互动模式升级。经验表明，严重神经质人格的人不一定会开始共谋，前提是他们的伴侣不会满足其退行性需求或强化其防御机制，而是帮助他们应对这些未实现的退行性愿望所带来的挫折。基于共谋概念的治疗旨在改善二元关系内外的边界，并使极端的进步 - 退行行为去极化。这些目标可以通过系统和心理动力学技术来实现。共谋概念可以为这一治疗过程提供指导。
