“…To cope with the feelings of inadequacy that underlie the narcissistic stance, such a mother may use the child as a container for unwanted aspects of herself. This poses serious consequences for the child (Corney, 1988), who is likely to take on and play out the role of the mother's unconscious contempt for the child's true self and perhaps express it in symptomatology. When such profound failures of mirroring occur over and over again, they lead to distortions in the child's sense of self and may become self-fulfilling prophecies (Coates, 1998).…”

Tripartite psychotherapy--where the mother and child are treated together by the therapist--is underutilized as a valuable form of child psychotherapy. Here, a preliminary discussion is based on clinical observations within a brief historical context. Illustrative case examples are offered to exemplify what actually occurs between the mother, child, and therapist in session. This treatment approach is traditionally applied to work with babies and very young children. A basic premise of classical tripartite therapy holds that the presence of the infant in treatment evokes strong transference phenomena in the parent, thus offering direct and immediate intervention within the mother-child relationship. Here, the author stretches the boundaries to extend the age range to older, latency-age children who, within the attachment relationship, may be enacting negative maternal projections.

“…The failure of art to sublimate successfully the artist's unconscious conflicts is strikingly apparent in the lives of some artists. Corney (1988) lists a number of artists in recent times who have committed suicide: Sylvia Plath, Van Gogh, Berryman, Virginia Woolf, Yesenin, Jackson Pollock, Rothko and Hemingway. If we include artists whose tortured lives brought a premature end to their lives through natural causes we can also cite Gauguin, Lautrec, Munch and Modigliani.…”

This paper takes clinical examples to explore the idea that paintings made during the course of therapy may be used by the client's defence mechanisms so that the picture and picturemaking process are utilised against expression of creativity. It is argued that art is not inherently creative but is subject to the same processes of resistance and defence as encountered in other areas of the client's life and therapy. Some of the literature is reviewed followed by clinical examples. The conclusion drawn is that once resistance has been interpreted new layers of creativity become available to the client.

Bargaining with reading habit is no need. Reading is not kind of something sold that you can take or not. It is a thing that will change your life to life better. It is the thing that will give you many things around the world and this universe, in the real world and here after. As what will be given by this counseling and psychotherapy of work dysfunctions, how can you bargain with the thing that has many benefits for you?
