Description
Summary:This article discusses the time element in therapy. The distinction between therapeutic case work and analysis, is primarily quantitative not qualitative and rests upon the acceptance of their respective limitations, upon the nature of the task which is undertaken, and upon the capacity of the client to take the type of therapy offered whether it be more or less. The next step for case work as the author see it is not to become more analytic but rather to become responsible for therapy, for practicing it overtly or for refraining deliberately,-but in any case, for knowing and bearing its own strength as well as its weakness, in other words, for accepting itself.
