This article considers the neurophysiological processes active in forming a third-degree impasse and presents case material to illustrate these ideas. The author also reflects on cultural issues between herself as a Norwegian and her client, who was a Taiwan Chinese, and describes how a neurophysiological understanding of third-degree impasses facilitated the therapy.
