This video features a 2 hours TFP session focused on the initial consultation and assessment of a young patient whose previous therapy is not progressing well using the STIPO-R. The therapist outlines the framework of the interview and explores the patient’s functioning over the past five years, including relationships, self-image, affect regulation, and areas of conflict. Through clarification and detailed inquiry, the session highlights difficulties in identity, interpersonal stability, and emotional experience, while establishing the therapeutic frame and evaluating personality organization. This segment is useful for illustrating the diagnostic phase of TFP and the use of structured questioning to assess core personality functioning and treatment suitability.
