In this article, I respond to the insightful commentaries by Karen Riggs Skean (2019), by Richard Harrison (2019), and by Ben Adams (2019) on my hybrid case study of "James," a survivor of chronic relational trauma (Blimling, 2019). These commentaries have stimulated me to think further about the impact of music on my individual psychotherapy work, both with James and with subsequent clients, and specifically with regard to its impact on my approach to group psychotherapy work. In addition, these commentaries have raised particular issues that I respond to, including, (a) constructive criticism by Skean and Harrison regarding the potential further use of "metaprocessing" and the developments made in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) since I completed the Case of James; (b) Skean’s perceptive point explaining how an individual therapist can take a personal passion—like music or literary writing or bicultural identity—and use it to enhance his or her enlivened presence in therapy with a client; and (c) Adams’ thesis that music and psychotherapy both have their origins in the shamanistic practices of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, suggesting that the combination of psychotherapy and music is a kind of return to our very roots.

Process And Outcome

This paper reports on the process and outcome of therapy using intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) with a professional musician who had suffered severe music performance anxiety over the course of his entire 30-year career. In this paper, we describe the nature of the therapy, the case history of the musician, the first assessment and trial therapy session, and the course and successful outcome of therapy. The patient underwent 10 sessions of ISTDP over a period of 4 months. This paper reports on the first 6 sessions, which were most relevant to the understanding and treatment of the patient’s severe music performance anxiety. This case study is the first reported application of ISTDP to a professional musician. We believe that this case study provides initial support that moderate to severe performance anxiety, in at least some cases, has its origins in unresolved complex emotions and defences arising from ruptures to early attachment relationships.

In the case of Ms. B, the integration of faith and psychology was a critical approach facilitating the achievement of several treatment gains. This article provides a glimpse into a therapeutic relationship that acknowledged and provided space for the faith life and experience of the client, which proved to be the gateway that led her to symptom relief. Utilizing time-limited dynamic psychotherapy, Ms. B was able to attain new knowledge and have new experiences that had implications for her perceptions of God and her perceptions of herself.

Trauma Case

Introduction Craniocerebral injuries are one of the most common causes of mortality and disability in Poland. The treatment of patients who are in an intensive care unit is based primarily on stabilizing the patient’s general condition as well as basic duties according to the patient’s functioning. Aim The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of early rehabilitation and the role of physiotherapy in recovery after craniocerebral trauma. Case study The subject was an 18-year-old patient who suffered craniocerebral trauma as a result of a road accident. After losing consciousness, he was in the intensive care unit, where he was placed on a medical ventilator. A properly selected physiotherapeutic procedure was performed. Passive exercises, contracture correction and appropriate positioning were used. To prevent pressure sores, anti-bedsore prophylaxis was implemented. Respiratory therapy played a key role. The goal of respiratory physiotherapy was to improve respiratory function by maintaining proper lung ventilation, increasing chest and diaphragm mobility along with maintaining the efficiency of respiratory muscles, as well as stimulating effective coughing and evacuation of secretions. The NDT-Bobath concept was used as therapy for spastic tension. The goal of the therapy was to get rid of pathological movement patterns and replace them with physiological patterns. The PNF method, classical and lymphatic massage, polysensory stimulation and music therapy were also used. Conclusions Early and comprehensive rehabilitation in a patient after craniocerebral trauma is extremely important and determines therapeutic effectiveness. Comprehensive therapy and care are able to prevent a number of complications that threaten the patient as a result of immobilization.

The Moment

Systematic case studies can benefit understanding of the process and outcome of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP; Fosha, 2000) and other affect-focused and experiential therapies by expanding the scope of investigation from the moment-to-moment emotional change on which these therapies are particularly strong to changes that occur over and across sessions. Systematic case studies are also important because the link between in-session changes and changes in the client behavior and interpersonal relationships in daily life can be explored. In the engaging AEDP case study of "Rosa" (Vigoda Gonzales, 2018), the language switching that allowed Rosa to access painful emotions had an additional relational implication in that the therapist was able to directly connect to Rosa’s child self, which was encoded in a different language than her adult self. I suspect that this prevented Rosa and the therapist from running into difficulties due to the potential mismatch in their backgrounds. Corrective emotional experience seen in this therapy confirmed the finding by my own case study research team (Nakamura & Iwakabe, 2018b) that client therapeutic gains are most clearly reflected in new relationships rather than existing attachment relationships. My commentary concludes with some questions posed to the author relating to the issue of effective training in empathic attunement and working with strong emotions in therapy.
