Sociotherapy and Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Personality Disorder: Discussion Paper

Open access
Whiteley, J Stuart·1986·Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Abstract

Psychotherapy is the readjustment of the intrapersonal attitudes and feelings ofthe individual and is based on a process of re-experiencing attachment to key figures and working towards a better 'resolution of the tensions and conflicts involved therein. Sociotherapy is the relearning'of social roles and interpersonal behaviour through the experiencing of social interactions in a corrective environment. Psychotherapy is primarily a listening process, with understanding coming from the'. therapists interpretation of the individual's communications and facilitating the development of a more stable emotional life. Sociotherapy is a more active process, with behavioural change coming from the experience of new and more satisfactory ways of coping with interpersonal interactions. The Henderson Hospital treats young adults with personality disorder in a residential setting through the medium of a therapeutic community which is a combination of psychotherapeutic' and sociotherapeutic processes, and this'brief paper will describe some of the experiences involved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
