Acting out processes in the human structural milieu therapy - A case studyof a patient with the diagnosis of borderline dissocial personality disorder

Within the human structural milieu therapy, developed by Gunter Ammon, the mostly unconscious constructive dimensions of the personality are used to d evelop and encourage relationships to other patients and the therapists. Th e project work of the milieu therapy can be understood as a "third object" used as a focus for contact and relations among each other. The group dynam ic process moderated by the therapists enables each patient to find his spe cific position. By this, specific developmental and integration processes a re encouraged. This process is exemplified by the authors in a case study o f a patient, with a diagnosis of borderline dissocial personality disorder.
