Intrapsychic destructiveness and the repair of the inner world.
This presentation will explore theoretical ideas and provide illustrative clinical vignettes about the causes of intrapsychic destructiveness. The contribution of psychotherapeutic engagement to repair and transform the destructive inner world as it occurs within the client and the therapist is discussed.
