Abstract
Strategic self-therapy (SST) is a psychotherapy paradigm based on limited intensity, rigorous differentiation of therapeutic boundaries, and cognitive reframing with behavior control as the vehicle for change. Prospective patients must be able to (1) guarantee safety from destructive behavior, (2) think abstractly, and (3) implement independent self-therapy projects. By focusing treatment responsibilities onto patients themselves, it is ideally suited for personality, dissociative, and posttraumatic disorders. Compared to intensive psychotherapy, it is hypothesized to be comparably effective, more efficient in time and cost, and less vulnerable to regressive dependency with its associated distress and risk from destructive acting-out behavior.
