Intrapsychic Restructuring (IR) is the Intrapsychic-Biological Substrate


Definition:

Intrapsychic Restructuring (IR) comprises a large body of treatment techniques and sub-methods (Defensive Restructuring, Cognitive Restructuring, Affective Restructuring, Cognitive-behavioral Restructuring & Neurobiological Restructuring) designed to reorganize and restructure processes/structures/functions that operate within the mind/brain of the individual. Thus, IR operates primarily at Level I (intrapsychic-biological matrix) of the total ecological system and is thus the most microscopic perspective of analysis. Within this level techniques which impact cognitive, relational, and attachment schemata, affective-defensive processes, anxiety regulation, and neurobiological functions.

Function:

To enhance adaptive responses at the intrapsychic level of operation.

Goals of Restructuring:

Create enhanced differentiation and integration among components of the intrapsychic system including neurobiological networks, defense-anxiety-affect loops, limbic system regulation etc


Techniques:

  • Defensive Restructuring
    • Intensification of defense (Perls, 1969)
    • Clarification of defense (Reich, 1933; Davanloo, 1980)
    • Educating about defenses (McCullough, 1997)
    • Disrupting defenses by blocking defensive operations (Ferenczi, 1925; Reich, 1933)
    • Cataloging defenses (Davanloo, 1980; Magnavita, 1997)
    • Psychic Integration (Kernberg, Davanloo others
    • Stop, Listen, Look (Bateman & Fonagy, 2006)
    • top, Rewind, Explore (Bateman & Fonagy, 2006)
    • Labeling with qualification (Bateman & Fonagy, 2006)
    • Making lemonade out of lemons (Linehan, 1993)
    • Intensification of defense (Perls, 1969)
    • Clarification of defense (Reich, 1933; Davanloo, 1980)
    • Educating about defenses (McCullough, 1997)
    • Disrupting defenses by blocking defensive operations (Ferenczi, 1925; Reich, 1933)
    • Cataloging defenses (Davanloo, 1980; Magnavita, 1997)
    • Challenge to Resistance (Davanloo, 1999a,b)
    • Encouragement of neutral self observation (Messer and Warren, 1995)
    • Affirm the client (Connors, Donovan, and DiClemente, 2001)
    • Confrontation of Defenses (Magnavita, 2005)
    • Behavior Analysis (Linehan, 1993)
    • Supporting Defenses (Magnavita, 2005)
    • Behavior Analysis (Linehan, 1993)
    • Solution Analysis (Linehan, 1993)
    • Dialectical assessment (Linehan, 1993)
