Abstract

Supportive and expressive techniques in psychotherapy can be located on a continuum. Traditionally, psychotherapy has been oriented toward the expressive end of the continuum, applying the model of psychoanalytic or expressive therapy to all therapy. The authors propose that for most patients, the model for individual dynamic psychotherapy should be based on concepts from the supportive end of the continuum.
