Psychotherapy based on Human Longing
I wrote this piece a year and a half ago, partly under the stimulation of having been listened to throughout several teaching engagements at Pendle Hill. I then aged it in a desk drawer, and find, on bringing it again into the light, that it still speaks for my general orientation to psychotherapy. It is a subjective and intuitive account of my experience in psychotherapy, in the light of my training. I send it to Pendle Hill as the one place I know of that specializes in subjective and intuitive, rather than scientific or empirical, approaches to truth.

I doubt that I will write anything quite like it again, in the future. It is a sort of credo, which will do for a long time. From a physician, one such statement should be enough. After that, he may turn his attention, and any further writing energies in him that press for release, to the actual case material from which insights such as these are derived.
