Davanloo’s Techniques in the Case of a 17-Year- Old with Anorexia Nervosa and a Complex Unconscious: Part II
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Davanloo’s ISTDP has been the subject of much focus and attention. He has published extensively on his earlier work. But many of his newer theories and techniques, developed during the last decade in the Montreal Closed Circuit Training Program, have not been disseminated as widely as his original publications. These include his opinions and theories on transference neurosis (and its various presentations), intergenerational transference neurosis, and impairment in the unconscious defensive organization. Objective: This paper is the second of a two-article series on these newer concepts. The first paper focused on definitions and discussions of these concepts. This second paper will now focus on the application of these principles in a case seen in the private practice of one of the authors. Method: The authors have translated (from German into English) several vignettes from a therapeutic interview. The patient is a 17-year-old girl with anorexia nervosa and a complex unconscious. The psychotherapeutic techniques used in each vignette will be underscored and explained in subsequent analyses. Results: Davanloo’s newer principles and techniques will be illustrated and made easy to understand in the case of an adolescent with a complex unconscious. Conclusion: This case was reviewed at the 38th Annual Metapsychology Meeting in Montreal, Canada in October, 2017 and highlights the new discoveries and techniques of this psychotherapeutic modality. Keywords: Unconscious, anorexia nervosa, transference neurosis, intergenerational, ISTDP, Davanloo.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
