Psychotherapy outcomes for most Axis I and
II disorders will be improved with these skills. The AMST
skills can be utilized in any psychotherapy orientation. The
skills appear to promote hemispheric integration as reflected
in an improvement in assembling emotions, thoughts, sensations,
memories, and inner representations of self and others. Teaching
the skills establishes a more effective and positively functioning
therapeutic alliance that in itself promotes a healing of
deficiencies in the client’s attachment. The AMST protocol
supported by extensive clinical impressions and by limited
but highly promising empirical evidence.
