Necessary use of non-dyadic methods

Positive experiences of a therapist cannot possibly disconfirm and dissolve some attachment-based, symptom-generating schemas. In such cases, reparative attachment work would necessarily fail to create transformational change of the schema. Methods other than reparative attachment are then necessary, not optional.

The case in Chapter 4 of Ted, who had, with unconscious purposefulness, made his life a shambles in order to rebuke his father, provides our first example. His presenting symptom of pervasive underachieving was maintained, it was found, by an emotional implicit schema that became verbalized in the following way.

The most important thing to me is to get Dad to see that he failed at being a father to me. I hate to admit it, but that’s so important to me that I’m willing to keep my own life a mess, and get nowhere, to get him to see how badly he screwed up by tearing me down all the time.
