Table 1: Plan formulation of the "Ice bear" case.

	Goals	Trauma	Obstructions (pathogenic beliefs)	Tests	Insights
1	To have more self-esteem	Cold, dominant father (alcohol); Father's criticism undermined the self-esteem	"I fear to be rejected if I express anger" or "I believe I am not worthwhile".	He will test to see if the therapist expresses anger towards him. He will test to see if the therapist will be critical of him. (test "self-esteem").	He is unconsciously identified with his father. And he is unconsciously compled with father's criticism.
2	To be distinguish from others	Cold, dominant, unpredictable father	"I fear to be alone if I say no to others"; "I fear to be rejected if I not adapt to the needs of others".	He will separate from the therapist and decline an offer by the therapist. (test "assignment").	His self-criticism is a way to deal with others needs and learn to be more tolerant.
3	To keep the control	Helpless mother	"Others can perform better than I do".	He will try to control the therapist. (test "control/dominance").	He is unconsciously identified with his father.
