✦ Synopsis

In this article, we present an outline of brief dynamic psychotherapy guiding our case formulation, and contrast the perspective of cyclical maladaptive patterns with the traditional conception of a normative model of therapeutic change in old age. A case illustration of a 68-year-old married woman is introduced to demonstrate how presenting complaints are translated into cyclical maladaptive patterns, a formulation used as a heuristic to help the therapist generate, recognize, and organize relevant psychotherapeutic information. The goal of therapy is to help the client change her maladaptive interpersonal patterns, focusing on new experiences and new understandings that emanate from the therapeutic relationship.
