Objective:

To demonstrate through 5 classic case examples that major psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, anger, physical symptoms, depression, and symptoms of borderline personality disorder can be predictably overcome through ‘Breakthrough Intimacy’ - closeness between committed couples far greater than their previous maximum level. The result of this study proves the vital need for and power of, an accurate and comprehensive tracking of each patient's progress on a daily basis.

Method:

Lifetrack therapy works with couples (the patient and his/her partner in life) bringing them far closer than ever before, guided by their own daily self-rating on 41 parameters that allow accurate graphic tracking via Internet of subtle changes in their personalities and dynamic mental status during each therapy session. Working in three-way teamwork, the therapist actively helps the couple to achieve closeness far greater than their previous maximum level, overcoming waves of symptom spikes until they disappear by exhaustion, as the couples undergo personality transformation.

Results:

Of the 1,170 patients treated over the last 20 years, 48% of patients reached a level of adjustment beyond their previous maximum level. 31% reached a level more than twice, 24% reached more than three times, 20% reached more than four times, 16% reached more than five times, and 7.6% reached more than ten times their previous maximum level of adjustment according to their own daily subjective self-rating.

Conclusion:

Psychiatric disorders may be better understood and treated as the natural consequence of one's existing personality which can be transformed through ‘Breakthrough Intimacy’.
