Loss and Survival: Experiences of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists Working Remotely During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Lucy Taylor et al.

Summary: This research project explores the experiences of psychoanalytic psychotherapists based in the UK during the first lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study reveals that therapists' overarching concerns were loss and survival, with sub-themes including difficulties in maintaining the therapeutic framework, decreased sense of security and safety, challenged analytic techniques, and altered relationship dynamics. The therapist groups were highly valued as they provided support during an unprecedentedly stressful time and served as a platform for learning from and creatively utilizing the challenges of remote work.

Trainee psychologists' experiences of learning and conducting psychodynamic therapy via telepsychology

Gavin Ivey et al.

Summary: This study examined the experiences of trainee psychologists learning and conducting psychodynamic therapy (PDT) online. Interviews with 10 Australian trainee psychologists revealed that online PDT was challenging due to technological barriers, client resistance, distraction, and problems maintaining therapy boundaries. Despite these limitations, online PDT was perceived as relatively effective, with reduced anxiety and improved countertransference management. However, it was considered inferior to in-person training.

However, significant differences were found in the therapeutic relationship, intersession experiences, and synchronous behavior.

Embodiment in online psychotherapy: A qualitative study

Enara Garcia et al.

Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, therapists and patients have had to switch to online sessions, raising concerns about the effectiveness of online psychotherapy in supporting the nonverbal and embodied aspects of the therapeutic relationship. Interviews with patients and therapists who transitioned from face-to-face to online therapy reveal necessary adjustments in behavior to compensate for changes in the online modality. From an enactive perspective, these adaptations aim to sustain interactive dynamics and balance relational and individual norms in social encounters.

THE INANIMATE THIRD: GOING BEYOND PSYCHODYNAMIC APPROACHES FOR REMOTE PSYCHOTHERAPY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Sari Goldstein Ferber et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for remote psychotherapy and explores its effectiveness in treating patients. The article introduces the concept of 'the inanimate third', referring to the electronic device used in therapy, and discusses its objectivity compared to the subjective emotional processes involved. It also addresses emotional themes relevant to the pandemic and evaluates the existence of transference and countertransference processes in remote therapy. The term 'social paradox' is suggested to describe the conflicting nature of digital media symbolizing both distance and intimacy, separation and unity. The article concludes that therapeutic dialogue can help deal with the social paradox by eliminating its conflicting elements.
