Effects of the Therapist’s Philosophical Premises on Psychotherapeutic Process
Abstract
This article focuses on differences in assumptions forming the philosophical foundations of psychotherapy leading to profound differences in the interpretation of the clinical data of psychotherapy and corresponding variations of basic technique. These differences are not reconcilable because they are directly opposed; only the principle of complementarity, as described in the paper, permits a constructive approach to the antinomies.
