Abstract

The author states in his preface to this new edition, "[W]hat's new, these 20 years, does not affect fundamental themes I wrote about in 1964." That is the major problem with this revision; it reflects the failure to note the difference that makes the difference. The author states that the main arguments of the first edition are still in place: psychotherapy is a moralistic as well as a scientific enterprise, and its many variations require cataloguing, with technique the best foundation for doing this.
