Relevance of Content to Those Interested in EDT:
 Highly resistant patients with a punitive superego are unable to experience underlying feelings which lead to lasting character change. In order to facilitate this experience we have to help them see superego activity, how it cripples them, how it creates their difficulties, and how they have suffered under its impact. Further, we have to help the patient dis-identify with the defense. This process must be handled in a methodical and systematic way so that the patient, once freed from the punitive superego, is finally able to experience the transformative power of his own affects and reclaim his true self which was formerly imprisoned by his defenses and superego affects.
