The anxious patient may need advice and direction to reduce the ambiguity of cues which make it difficult for him to proceed. He may need to be helped to relax to reduce the psychophysiological concomitants of his anxiety. He may need discrimination training to identify the stimuli as well as his inappropriate responses to them, whether called interpretation or something else. (34 pp.)

The Prescription of Treatment for Adults
The population of patients that come to see a psychiatrist is distributed on a normal curve ranging from high-expectant trust to a very low capacity for this readiness to be helped. Where high-expectant trust almost any technique will work and often the directive techniques are faster. Where low-expectant trust is present the opening steps require a diligent cultivation of the patient’s capacity to trust. (22 pp.)
