Self psychology provides valuable insights into the dynamics that underlie hostage situations and negotiations. Recognition of the similarities between negotiations and psychotherapy further clarifies the complex interactions that occur. The importance of empathy and the development of selfobject relationships will have a significant impact on the resolution of the incident. Recognition of selfobject transferences and the indicators of self fragmentation will help to guide the negotiator and mental health consultants in their conduct of the negotiations. The complex relationships that develop between hostage-taker, hostages, and negotiators can all be understood within the framework of self psychology, leading to the more effective management of these situations.
自体心理学为理解人质事件及谈判背后的动态机制提供了宝贵的见解。认识到谈判与心理治疗之间的相似性,进一步阐明了所发生的复杂互动。共情的重要性以及自体客体关系的发展,将对事件的解决产生重大影响。认识到自体客体移情和自我分裂的指标,将有助于指导谈判人员和心理健康顾问进行谈判。劫持者、人质和谈判人员之间发展起来的复杂关系,都可以在自体心理学的框架内得到理解,从而更有效地处理这些情况。
