A Study of Interval Psychotherapy for Manic Depressive Patients

The importance of interval psychotherapy in the treatment of prophylaxis in relapses of manic depressive patients was pointed out by K. Abraham in 191 1. Abraham originally held the view that psychoanalysis in certain phases of the illness was unsuitable and contraindicated. However, he emphasized that interval psychoanalysis could be efficient as treatment for a manic depressive illness. An interval is defined as the healthy period between phases. During this healthy period patients are able to adapt themselves to their social surroundings. For this reason there was a tendency not to regard this treatment as necessary during such periods. In recent years much discussion has been centered on the importance of interval therapy. By interval therapy we mean somatic and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is the subject under discussion here. W. Brautigam’ submitted a paper on the study of interval therapy for manic depressive patients. He reported on two successful cases that showed the importance of prophylaxis in the prevention of relapses of the depressive phase.
