English term

keeping the frame

English to Italian Other Psychology psicoanalisi - concezioni del trattamento
It should be noted, however, that unlike Alexander and
French’s (1946) stance, Weiss et al. do not propose that the analyst intentionally
try to play a particular role in order to disconfirm the patient’s
unconscious pathogenic beliefs and expectations. Rather, most of the
time, doing good analytic work—that is, being sensitive to the patient’s
communications, fears, goals, and tests; *keeping the frame*; and maintaining
analytic neutrality—will, according to them, constitute test-passing
and disconfirmation of the patient’s unconscious pathogenic beliefs.

mantenimento del setting (terapeutico/analitico)

Struttura di contenimento della terapia, costituita da luogo (studio del terapeuta, stanza, arredamento ecc.), orario (durata della seduta, intervallo tra le sedute ecc.) e onorario (che sancisce il rapporto professionale tra terapeuta e paziente).

Keeping the Frame

These days, outside of the psychoanalytic literature, no one talks much about the therapeutic frame. But I have always found it to be one of the most important and useful concepts in the practice of psychotherapy. The frame is the container for the therapy, the fixed elements that form the boundaries for the work. The frame has three elements: time, place, fee.
