Abstract
In the following article Sloane examines three disparate psychotherapeutic approaches—psychoanalytical, behavioral and Rogerian, and concludes that they have more likenesses than differences. (1) In all three, a relationship develops between patient and therapist that involves mutual expectancies, and in which the therapist overtly or covertly endeavors to get the patient to share or accept his beliefs. Moreover; in all three, the success of the therapy depends on both patient and therapist having certain personal attributes that tend to favor a good outcome. (2) In all three, past and present events are explored and “explanations” offered, although there are differences both quantitatively and in emphasis.
