Abstract
Scoping review was used to review and analyze ten articles concerning the phenomenon of the unconscious therapeutic alliance (UTA) within the psychodynamic treatment method ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy). The questions presented and investigated were: How is the unconscious alliance mobilized in ISTDP? What are signs in the therapy room of unconscious therapeutic alliance? How is the unconscious therapeutic alliance between patient and therapist used? Results that emerged showed that the UTA is mobilized through the therapist's active pressure on the patient's resistance together with a focus on the patient's emotional reactions in relation to the therapist, the so-called transference. Signs of the UTA can appear from... (More)

Results that emerged showed that the UTA is mobilized through the therapist's active pressure on the patient's resistance together with a focus on the patient's emotional reactions in relation to the therapist, the so-called transference. Signs of the UTA can appear from low to high depending on the low to high degree of mobilization of the patient's unconscious, and it appeared that the therapist can use the UTA to generate more substance from the unconscious and thus contribute to the initiation of healing processes in the patient. The conclusions drawn were that the UTA, which can be seen as the patient's inner healing force, is activated and mobilized from low to high in the patient together with, and dependent on, the therapist's active stance against the patient's resistance.

Scoping review användes för att granskas och analysera tio artiklar rörande fenomenet den omedvetna terapeutiska alliansen (UTA) inom den psykodynamiska behandlingsmetoden ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy). De frågeställningar som presenterades och undersöktes var: Hur mobiliseras den omedvetna alliansen i ISTDP? Vilka tecken finns i terapirummet på omedveten terapeutisk allians? Hur används den omedvetna terapeutiska alliansen mellan patient och terapeut? Resultat som framkom visade att UTA mobiliseras genom terapeutens aktiva press på patientens motstånd tillsammans med fokus på patientens känslomässiga reaktioner i relation till terapeuten, den så kallade överföringen. Tecken på den UTA kan visa sig från låg till hög... (More)

Hur används den omedvetna terapeutiska alliansen mellan patient och terapeut? Resultat som framkom visade att UTA mobiliseras genom terapeutens aktiva press på patientens motstånd tillsammans med fokus på patientens känslomässiga reaktioner i relation till terapeuten, den så kallade överföringen. Tecken på den UTA kan visa sig från låg till hög grad beroende på låg till hög grad av mobilisering av patientens omedvetna, och det framgick att terapeuten kan använda UTA för att skapa mer innehåll från det omedvetna och på så sätt bidra till att läkandeprocesser sätts igång hos patienten. De slutsatser som drogs var att UTA, som är patientens inre läkande kraft, aktiveras och mobiliseras från låg till hög grad hos patienten tillsammans med, och beroende av, terapeutens aktiva hållning mot patientens motstånd.
