How TFP Works (Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) | OTTO KERNBERG

Kernberg describes what the goal is in each of the three stages of TFP.

Otto Kernberg, a pioneer in the field of severe personality disorders and Borderline in particular (and creator of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy), discusses Borderline Personality Disorder from the viewpoint of clinician / ridiculously experienced expert.

In my experience of splitting I've noticed some progress in myself from going back and forth between seeing people as all good and all bad, there are particular people who do that for me more than others and I can now see how this is helpful in a more concrete way.

Otto Kernberg is so descriptive in his opinions. This video and others are short and yet I seem to comprehend exactly what he's saying. Just a beautiful thing when people can communicate what they are good at in such a fluid and understanding manner.

wonderful, the hundreds of books I have read over the years, I wish I had found this channel long ago

Very concise and clear way of conveying the aims of transference-focused psychotherapy with BPD.

[jakeyonland]

That's a really good idea, kind of like training the patient to be good at switching between considering themselves as the victim and the persecutor so that when they deal with confrontation in their everyday life, they can more easily consider both points of view and arrive at a more objective conclusion about how they respond.

OMG ❤️ thank you Dr. Kernberg for being one of the main conciliatory researchers between the psychodynamic therapy and the clinical psychology...

[publiusovidius]

That fits well with the Jungian model of the psyche as being composed of warring opposites that need conjunction and transformation.

Only the wealthy can afford such treatment, which is the unspoken catastrophe of psychoanalysis.

I am a therapist and would be highly interested in learning TFP.

I dissociated for a couple of weeks when my talk therapist suddenly decided to imploy a similar method with me. I fired him. I am not BPD, but CPTSD.

The average cost of Transference-Focused therapy is around $500 per 45 minutes in New York City, where Kernberg's TFP-New York is located. None of the therapists take insurance, so you're looking at at least $4k per month out-of-pocket (not counting the consultation sessions). And, like any academic contingent with a theoretical model they're invested in and staked their careers on, they're a self-supporting, self-confirming, and self-prompting entity unto themselves. I'm sure they genuinely believe in this treatment modality, but let's be clear: they are making a killing doing this. An average therapist, with say 20 patients, is grossing upwards of $80, 000 per month with dubious outcomes.

What if a disordered couple triangulate against a third part? How do therapists work with couples that both abuse each other but also go into pairs against the ”world”?

[alchemicalsoul]

We do this with internal family systems.

[mooninaries]

Transference is a fancy word for manipulation or projection.
