Self-Organizing Therapeutic Systems in Outpatient Therapy of Borderline Patients with Substance Use Disorders

Abstract

Using a clinical case of three brothers, we discuss a spontaneous, self-organizing family system framework that prevents withdrawal from therapy and acting-out of the borderline clients diagnosed with alcohol dependence. This multi-family framework includes several family members and rests on the symbiotic and co-dependent relational patterns between the clients and their mothers. We discuss the positive and negative aspects of this framework and options for changing it.

“…The area of research is located in the temperate latitudes of East Asia. [11,19]. In case of rapid snow melting and atmospheric precipitation, surface and subsurface flows get formed enriched with fine fractions and heavy metal compounds.…”

“…Upper humic-cumulose horizons, 7-12 cm thick, produce humus with high concentration of water soluble violent separates. Structural groups of brown ulminic and fulvic acid, representing 58-88% of the total composition, react even at temperatures lower than 15°C [14,19]. Soils have acidic reaction of the environment (pH w 3.9-5.8), their profile is enriched with iron and manganese oxides, and their soluble forms represent 35-45% of the total composition.…”
