Daniel Casriel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Harold Casriel , called Dan Casriel (born March 1, 1924 in New York City , † June 7, 1983 ), was an American doctor , psychiatrist and psychoanalyst . In the 1960s, he worked with drug addicts on an assignment from New York State and developed bonding therapy, also known as the New Identity Process (NIP = process or path to discovering one's true identity).

Emotional deficiency society

He coined the term “emotional scarcity society” with its consequences for people: loneliness , despair , numbness and lack of relationships. People who are held, looked at and listened to, who form secure bonds and can build trusting closeness to others are more resilient in crises and more resistant to diseases, addictions or destructive antisocial behavior.

New Identity Process

Casriel wrote the book Rediscovering Feeling in 1972 . In addition to experts, the target group was primarily the general public. As the original title A Scream Away from Happiness says, feelings that people could not allow in the past and the negative experiences made in the past situation should prevent people from being happy. According to Casriel, the old or acute misfortune screamed out should be the first step towards overcoming what stands in the way of personal happiness. He referred to this process as the process of developing one's true identity (NID), with which he wanted to express that the negative attitudes developed in the child through frustrations have forced the child into an identity with which he or she cannot be happy even in adulthood. The NID is concerned with expressing and acting out these old feelings through shouting or the like, combined with the recognition of the wrong attitude and exchanging them with new positive attitudes. Casriel's research results from the last decade of his work are missing in the book Rediscovery of Feeling . The unfinished manuscript in which these are recorded has not yet been released for printing.

In Germany today, the New Identity Process is taught and practiced as a bonding therapy .

Reception in Germany

His findings also found attention in Germany and a. introduced and disseminated by Walther H. Lechler , Ingo Gerstenberg as well as Jeff Gordon and his wife Julia Gordon (they jointly run the center in Kraichgau ).
