Brilliant. Who says that psychodynamic theory is overly complicated and obtuse? This presentation, and the meta-theory of ISTDP lays out the theory in a highly parsimonious and clinically coherent manner.

Great question! Defenses ward off feelings. Feelings trigger unconscious anxiety in the body. Anxiety triggers defenses, one of which may be automatic thoughts. For instance, self-criticism is a defense against a feeling. CBT regards automatic thoughts as the trigger for feelings. Here, we regard automatic thoughts as a defense against feelings. So one difference is the way we understand causality. Hope that helps. Jon

Brilliantly put! I'm excited for an upcoming short term training webinar on this modality and hence I'm here on RUclips looking it up to curb my pre-lecture curiosity

Question: Would you recommend sharing the visual of the triangles with the patient?

[@deadlypalms]

This is not strictly ISTDP, but yes this can be helpful for some but not for others. Check on your own countertransference in terms of why you would want to.

Thank you Dr. Coughlin, you make the theory so clear!

How are defenses different from the "overdeveloped or underdeveloped coping strategies" in CBT?These, too, are efforts to avoid the painful affect or expected consequences of expressing the painful affect associated with negative automatic thoughts and core beliefs.
Interesting video, thanks! I'm in the process of reading your guys' book.

i have a question here. If the Triangels are completely interpreted it seems to be done. but what if its done and the Symptomes does not vanish? I remember that Ralph Grensson stated that there are two main forms of resistence. The resistence against becoming Aware of the unconcious Feelings and if thats done the second forms are the resistence against change through the insight. So i wonder, is it right that its first always necessery too trace all Feelings to its origins and to reconstruct them in oder to make the pure Triangel work and is it true that if theres a resistence against becoming better though all the insight, this resistence has to be taken as new defence and it must be searched for another anxiety and hidden Feelings, which prevent the Patient from recovering through insight of the interpreted Triangels alone?

Chemical imbalance? No such thing...that's been debunked some time ago. This video should be taken down.
