From interpretation of early conflict and trauma, contemporary, expressive psychotherapy expanded and divided in two directions with a more here and now focus: 1. A cognitive-behavioral basis and 2. A bilateral patient-therapist attunement. This talk demonstrates the second direction in detail with two treatment resistant patients and their therapist, also a patient. The shift from interpretation to containment to holding and attunement is elaborated. All three patients continue their resistance, then begin finding new words to connect with internal and external experience and feel more real. Theoretical issues are discussed and the relevance to inpatient work brought forward.
