Describes use of developmental and life script information in planning and implementing treatment of clients who manifest a manic-depressive structure—a structure consisting of two separate and seemingly incompatible parent incorporations along with two sets of Child adaptations. A number of general treatment strategies are described, and relevant precautions in their use noted. Five distinct stages of treatment, each with specific issues to be confronted and techniques useful to aid and facilitate resolution, are identified and discussed in detail.
