Lisbeth Sommerbeck

Psychosis, 2011, vol. 3, issue 3, 235-241

Abstract: This article briefly introduces Garry Prouty’s pre-therapy with people diagnosed with psychoses. It includes a short discussion of the theory of pre-therapy and illustrates the practice of pre-therapy with examples of “contact reflections” and an excerpt of dialogue. It also points to the link between pre-therapy and psychoanalytic attachment theories. It is the author’s hope that readers will find useful inspiration for their own practice.
