“…“This treatment resulted in the amelioration of his [obsessive-compulsive] symptoms, which remained stable eight years after treatment ended. Because the standard of care in such cases has become largely behavioral and pharmacological, I will discuss some questions about our current understanding of obsessive-compulsive phenomena that are raised by this case, and some of the factors that likely contributed to the success of psychoanalytic treatment for this child (McGehee, 2005 , p. 213–214).”…”

This manuscript provides a review of the clinical case study within the field of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic treatment. The method has been contested for methodological reasons and because it would contribute to theoretical pluralism in the field. We summarize how the case study method is being applied in different schools of psychoanalysis, and we clarify the unique strengths of this method and areas for improvement. Finally, based on the literature and on our own experience with case study research, we come to formulate nine guidelines for future case study authors: (1) basic information to include, (2) clarification of the motivation to select a particular patient, (3) information about informed consent and disguise, (4) patient background and context of referral or self-referral, (5) patient's narrative, therapist's observations and interpretations, (6) interpretative heuristics, (7) reflexivity and counter-transference, (8) leaving room for interpretation, and (9) answering the research question, and comparison with other cases.

The therapeutic alliance is often misconceived, misunderstood, or ignored in conceptualizing the therapeutic process and the therapeutic relation in analysis and other forms of therapy. Conversely, I will argue that the alliance is indispensable in all forms of therapy. After briefly outlining the nature of the alliance, I discuss some of the empirical findings regarding its utility in various therapeutic contexts. I then consider its role and function in various therapeutic settings other than adult analysis and psychotherapy, including child analysis, treating various forms of psychopathology, and related contexts like supervision, forensic psychiatry, and hospital and medical treatment. The alliance plays a definite but analogous role in all of these, with differences according to context.
