COMMENTARY BY A MEMBER OF THE SEVERNSIDE INSTITUTE FOR PSYCHOTHERAPY.

The author comments on the paper by Abraham Brafman about the psychotherapy sessions given to a patient. He centers on the idea of what the patient needs which he believes has no objective means to evaluate. He stresses that a person's self-diagnosis and the therapist's diagnosis are not static factors. He also reflects on the importance of the starting frequency on therapy sessions wherein mistakes can be made depending on the patients' conditions.
