[Psychotherapy with violent neurotic patients]

The paper presents a model of interactional processes for analytical psychotherapy with violent neurotic patients. The starting point is a special situation of transference related to the negative therapeutic reaction: The interaction is reduced to the demand for being satisfied immediately by the therapist. A model of the conditions for the emerging of violent acting out is developed and the structure of transference with violent neurotic patients is exposed. Special difficulties in the managing of transference and the technique of interventions are discussed.
