The case of Katrina Original Research Article

Building on their unique theoretical and clinical backgrounds, the respondents presented curiously convergent views on the case of Katrina. The response papers high-lighted Katrinaʹs underlying deficit in affect regulation and the interaction between biological vulnerability and environmental stress as possible etiological factors in her illness. Most respondents suggested two main levels of interventions: skill-building interventions (e.g., dialectical behavior therapy) to facilitate more adaptive coping style, and interventions with a focus on Katrinaʹs in-session behaviors and therapeutic relationship.
