to try to get it
un
stabilised. The gain here may be semi-permanent, so that,
with this holding, the forces can then attack another point. With this in mind,
a Blitz-therapy would be characterised by:- (1) Use of techniques in combi-
nation, simultaneously. E.g. LSD, then hypnosis while under it, & ECT while
under the hypnosis. (2) Not waiting to “understand” the patient's pathology
(psycho-, somato-, neuro-) but hitting hard & seeing what happens. (3) Get
a change anyhow, then exploit it; when it comes to a stop, take violent action
to get another change somehow. (4) Get normal every point you possibly can.
(5) Apply pressure everywhere & notice whether
any
part of the psychosis
shows signs of cracking. (6) Let the psychiatric team focus on
one
patient, oth-
ers being ignored meanwhile.
Summary
: Blitz-therapy.
