✦ Synopsis

As noted in Parts I and II of this paper, patients on the right-hand side of the spectrum evidence the presence of trauma and/or abandonment in their past, often of a repetitive nature; the presence of highly painful feeling in reaction to the trauma; the presence of unconscious murderous or primitive murderous rage in relation to genetic figures; intense guilt-and grief-laden unconscious feelings; and the presence of a masochistic component in their character make-up. It is this group of patients who Davanloo has said show the presence of the Perpetrator' (Davanloo, 1977(Davanloo, , 1993)). These patients evidence a high or extremely high degree of resistance in psychotherapy. In particular, they also demonstrate the presence of the particular set of character defenses which Davanloo called the resistance against emotional closeness (RAEC)' (Davanloo, 1977(Davanloo, , 1993)). The first section of this paper will deal with the manifestations of RAEC characteristic of these patients and the relationship of RAEC to the Perpetrator. The next section will deal with the specific aspects of the technique that are geared towards dealing with the Perpetrator and RAEC.

The Perpetrator and Resistance Against Emotional Closeness

The Perpetrator in the unconscious of these patients serves several functions, most notably to perpetuate suffering, to repeat painful trauma of the past, and to defeat any chance for freedom and success. The dynamic forces at the core of the Perpetrator are (1) the bond of positive feelings and attachment to the genetic figure(s); (2) disruption of the bond by abandonment and trauma; (3) the pain of
