Description

Better Late Than Never: The Reparative Therapeutic Relationship in Regression to Dependence

This book explores an enigmatic set of experiences known as regression to dependence, which can occur in some clients undergoing psychotherapy. It delves into the effects of early infantile trauma and failed dependency, highlighting the impact on clients who struggle with chronic anxiety, relational failures, and inner emptiness.

From an Integrative Psychotherapy perspective, the book offers a way forward for therapists to successfully work with this client group, drawing on insights from Winnicott's work on failed dependency and maternal failure. This timely contribution aims to address the current gap in literature on this topic, providing recommendations for therapeutic stance and repair.
