Binge eating disorders and psychotherapy: is it possible to systematize a psychodynamic formulation case?

Abstract

The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method establishes psychotherapeutic guidelines for a patient's relational patterns. The CCRT was used in the analysis of narratives coming from psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions (taped and transcribed) from a patient suffering from Binge Eating Episodes. The CCRT method made it possible to systematize the connection between psychological conflicts and symptoms, not always an easy task for psychiatrists and psychologists in training.
