Amalie Xs specimen case - Analyzed with the Psychotherapy Process Q-set

摘要

The Psychotherapy Process Q-set (PQS) of Enrico Jones will be described and its application in analyzing an analytic session will be demonstrated with the specimen case of Amalie X's session 152. Additionally, a method to analyze therapy adherence based on the PQS will be presented to demonstrate how this session conforms to an ideal analytic session. Furthermore, it will be illustrated that psychoanalytic process can be demonstrated with the PQS systematically and empirically although the full complexity of an analytic session cannot be captured. The importance of the PQS and potential further developments and uses will be discussed.
