protector分离保护者模式
The detached作者:Arnoud Arntz
译者:mints
When the patient is in the detached protector mode, the patient seems relatively mature and calm. A therapist could assume the patient is doing well. In fact, the patient uses this protective mode in order to avoid experiencing or revealing her feelings of fear (abandoned child), inferiority (punishing parent) or anger (impulsive child). Underlying assumptions that play important roles here are those of: it is dangerous to show your feelings and/or desires and to express your opinion. The patient fears losing control of her feelings. She attempts to protect herself from the alleged abuse or abandonment. This becomes particularly evident as she becomes attached to others. The protector keeps other people at a distance either by not engaging in contact or by pushing them away. Should others discover her weaknesses, the patient would face potential humiliation, punishment and/or abandonment. Therefore, for her it is better to not feel anything at all and keep others from getting too close to her.
情绪里(作为遗弃儿童)的恐惧、(惩罚父母)自卑感或者(冲动儿童的)愤怒。在这里扮演重要角色的基本假设是:显露你的感情和/或欲望,以及表达自己的意见是危险的。患者害怕她失去对自己情绪的控制。她试图保护自己远离所谓的的虐待或遗弃。当她开始依恋别人时尤其明显。保护者与他人保持距离,要么避免接触要么推开他们。一旦有人发现她的弱点,患者就有可能面对潜在的羞辱,惩罚或/和抛弃。因此,对她来说,最好是不要接触任何一点儿事情,同时让其他人不要与自己太亲密。
当患者处于分离保护者的时候,显得相对成熟和安静。治疗师可能会假设患者症状改善了。实际上,患者使用分离保护者模式的目的是为了避免经历或流露她Sample dialogue with a patient in the protector mode
(In this example and following dialogues, ‘ t' is therapist and ‘p' is patient.)
t : How are you doing?
p : (with no emotion) Good.
t : How was your week, did anything happen that you would like to talk about?
p : (looks away and yawns) No, not really.
t : So, everything's OK?
p : Yeah, everything's OK. Maybe we could have a short session today?
