Review
Unspoken actions between the therapist and the patient have major and often unconscious influences on the psychotherapeutic situation. Mutual transferences can bring about acting-out behaviors that portray transference wishes and defenses within both parties. Such actions tend to replace or overshadow verbalizing intrapsychic strife and in that sense can function as formidable resistance to therapeutic introspection. They also may represent behavioral attempts to communicate significant earlier experiences. Reflection on this dyadic interplay has led to contemporary treatment concepts. Enactment, actualization, and treatment misalliances are behavioral manifestations of urges, conflicts, and identifications and they appear most frequently during regressive periods in psychotherapy. Initially an enactment may include a component of the therapist's reciprocal behavior as a necessary feature of the process, prior to a fuller dynamic understanding and eventual definitive interpretation. Collusion by the therapist, through mutual and continuing acting out or through attempts to re-parent, will encourage antitherapeutic misalliances that can lead to continuing symptomatic behaviors and boundary violations. Continuing self-inquiry is essential to facilitate therapeutic change and we need to be aware that the principal analyzing device available to bring about positive change in our patients, is to be found within ourselves.

The decision to physically restrain a patient or other individual on your property may have to made quickly, and with varying degrees of available support and assistance. A training program for clinical staff members and security personnel in successfully dealing with acting-out situations is essential.

THE TERM acting out has been used in many different ways and has often been misused. It is frequently applied indiscriminately to behavior, especially antisocial behavior, which is viewed by the observer as difficult to understand or unacceptable. In this misuse, the term sometimes encompasses behaviors which reflect disorders of impulse control. However, acting out and disorders of impulse control differ in many ways and should be distinguished from each other. A previous communication (Frosch and Wortis, 1954) reported on the nosology of the impulse disorders without attempting to differentiate these from acting out in any extensive manner. In the present communication, it is my intention to pursue this differentiation phenomenologically, dynamically, genetically, and therapeutically.
