Reality, Perception, and the Role Reversal
Keywords:
Role ReversalAbstract
Is it important to sort perceptions from misperceptions in the role reversal, and if so, when and how? Two guidelines are offered bused on the view that while objective and subjective reality recursively modify each other, the objective has the priority in this continual process. Application of the guidelines is exemplified with clinical cases highlighting both the possibilities and problems of this technique.
