Gesprächspsychotherapie mit einer älteren Frau

Abstract

Talking therapy with an elderly woman. The therapeutic process of a 73-year-old woman with depression is presented. The first hours were used entirely to establish contact with the client. The therapist initially focused on reflecting the client‘s utterances and later on the verbalization of emotional experiences. He supported the client‘s self- exploration as far as possible and increasingly progressed from unilateral empathetic reflection to dialog-based reflection.
