Abstract: | Commenting on a case presentation entitled "Restitution 10," (see record 2005-02680-005), a number of problems are pointed out. The diagnosis of the patient is not properly documented, and the history is marred by probable false memories. The interpretation of Ornduff (2005) that understanding previous experiences of child abuse was helpful to the patient is questioned. An alternative approach, using both psychodynamic and cognitive principles, is suggested. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
