Translator disclaimer

This article presents excerpts from a roundtable discussion on the schizoid process held as part of a continuing education symposium at the August 1999 ITAA annual conference in San Francisco. Consideration is given to the importance of a number of factors in work with schizoid clients, including safety, autonomy, the therapeutic use of both physical and nonphysical touch, rage, the intersubjective nature of therapy, projective identification, understanding defensive processes, and the use of countertransference.
