The Place of Confrontation in Modern Psychotherapy

The secret of taking care of the patient is caring for him. This is a reconciliation of those polar positions of psychotherapy, objectivity and intimacy, reason and feeling, each so vital, each so helpless without the other. Intimacy makes objectivity usable, while objectivity justifies and spends the gained intimacy.

Sullivanism

Participant Observation, or Sullivanism, refers both to a general proposition that can characterize all psychotherapy and to certain technical suggestions for working in the social field, both spring largely from the work of Harry Stack Sullivan. The general proposition is that clinical psychiatric work precludes observations of the patient alone, the relation between observer and observed is so interactive that statements about the one must include statements about the other.
