“…Functional neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, PET), in particular, allow the study of changes in activation and linkage of brain regions that are affected by psychotherapy (Etkin, Pittenger, Polan, & Kandel, 2005). Although the use of neuroimaging has many limitations (see Beutel & Huber, 2008;Carrig, Kolden, & Strauman, 2009, for brief reviews), some studies have shown promising results (e.g., Brody et al, 2001;Paquette et al, 2003).

Defense interpretations are commonly used techniques that clinicians employ more frequently than transference interpretations. How and when clinicians interpret defenses, however, has received little empirical examination. In an effort to facilitate the empirical study of defense interpretation, we reviewed 15 works by noted authors who gave a prominent role to interpreting defenses in discussing clinical work in general patient populations. Our goal was to identify and systematize distinct themes from these authors that might be testable hypotheses. We identified 74 themes related to the interpretation of defenses in psychotherapy-for example, "interpreting too frequently diminishes the emotional impact of interpretation"-which we organized into 17 distinct categories (e.g., factors associated with positive outcome). We subsequently selected 19 themes that were readily operationalizable as hypotheses and examination of which would advance clinical practice. These hypotheses address issues such as when, in what order, and how to interpret defensive material and what successful outcomes would be. We then describe prototypes of research designs, employing naturalistic observation, randomized controlled trials, or experimental laboratory studies, which could investigate these important hypotheses. Overall, this report codifies current clinical maxims and then provides future research directions for determining how clinicians can most effectively address defenses in psychotherapy.

“…2 Andere Forscher hingegen sehen durchaus einen kategorialen Unterschied zwischen der neurowissenschaftlichen Methode und dem ›Gegenstand‹ der Psychotherapie. Sie identifizieren nicht wie etwa Kandel die Wissenschaftlichkeit schlechthin mit der naturwissenschaftlichen Methode, sondern sehen die neue Möglichkeit, psychotherapeutische Konzepte mit den Neurowissenschaften kritisch zu überprüfen, in einer deutlich differenzierteren Weise (Beutel, 2009a;Beutel & Huber, 2008;Fuchs, 2004).…”
