Dynamic psychotherapy research has become revitalized, especially
in the last three decades. This major study by Sidney Blatt,
Richard Ford, and their associates evaluates long-term intensive
treatment (hospital ization and 4-times-a-week psychotherapy) of
very disturbed patients at the Austen Riggs Center. The center
provides a felicitous setting for recovery-beautiful buildings on
lovely wooded grounds just off the quiet main street of the New
England town of Stockbridge, Massa chusetts. The center, which has
been headed in succession by such capable leaders as Robert Knight,
Otto Will, Daniel Schwartz, and now Edward Shapiro, has been well
known for decades for its type of inten sive hospitalization and
psychotherapy. Included in its staff have been such illustrious
contributors as Erik Erikson, David Rapaport, George Klein, and
Margaret Brenman. The Rapaport-Klein study group has been meeting
there yearly since Rapaport's death in 1960. Although the center is
a long-term care treatment facility, it remains successful and
solvent even in these days of increasingly short-term treatment.
Sidney Blatt, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Yale Univer
sity, and Richard Ford of the Austen Riggs Center, and their
associates assembled a sample of 90 patients who had been in
long-term treatment and who had been given (initially and at 15
months) a set of psychologi cal tests, including the Rorschach, the
Thematic Apperception Test, a form of the Wechsler Intelligence
Test, and the Human Figure Drawings."
In this startling new way to read the parables, Ford unlocks seven
of the longer parables attributed to Jesus. He focuses on the two
major characters in each parable, who are separated by social
inequality, and he entirely bypasses the common approach that
assumes that the superior character represents God and the
subordinate character the Christian believer.
Drawing on his own therapeutic training, Ford offers unique
insight into the psychodynamics at work in the parables. He
proposes that the two characters are equally balanced in their
multiple misperceptions of each other and shows how Jesus' stories
invite listeners to advert to issues of conflict and power and to
struggle toward reconciliation.
