“…It is interesting to note that Balier himself, through his work on the psychotherapeutic treatment of violent behaviour, contributed to the question of narcissistic restoration, by combining a psychoanalytic referent and a psycho-corporeal approach centred mainly on relaxation (Balier, 2003). Generally acknowledging the need for a psycho-corporeal approach, be it relaxation or, say, sophrology, these explorations (Langendorff, 2004;Rexand-Galais, 2013;Le Goff and Rexand-Galais, 2018) stress the need for the framework to be adapted. It is often assumed that this framework needs to be warmer, and the sessions both shorter and more frequent, to foster the revival of psychic life and the restoration of the narcissistic foundations (mainly of the ego ideal) favouring the object axis and, ultimately, stimulating the individual's relational appetite.…”
