Core Tip
Core Tip: Interdisciplinary integration of mental health issues requires communication between different disciplines. Treatment adherence depends on relational problems and thus is not limited to problems within a person influencing the mental health continuum. However, the diagnostic statistical manual lacks representation of relational problems. In contrast, psychoanalysis has focused on relationship problems and abilities emerging from relations with promising outcomes. Targeting unconscious processing is a promising intervention strategy for improving adherence to transformation processes. Unconscious conflicts and resistances might lead to self-sabotage of relationships. Furthermore, such unconscious processes might prevent accessibility of an individual’s abilities and might obscure true motivations.
