This psychoanalytically based psychotherapy requires the therapist to step out of the traditional mode. With its specific time limit and the concept of the central issue, this brings to the forefront of the treatment process the major psychological plague all human beings suffer, namely the wish to be close, to be as one with another, to be intimate, the fulfillment of which demands learning how to tolerate separation and loss without undue damage to our feelings about the self.

Confrontation as a Mode of Teaching
Whatever else it may be, confrontation is predominantly a device for teaching. Explanation and gentle, caring concern as a method of confrontation, in good times and in bad, will lead to identification with a model that will allow the patient freedom of choice. This result is the proper goal of confrontation.
