This article apparently has as its impetus the work of C. R. Rogers at the University of Ohio, although nowhere in the paper is the theoretical basis for

the procedures mentioned. Madigan presents an illustrative case of 'non-directive psychotherapy': counseling a delinquent teen-aged girl. One has the distinct impression that the counseling proceeds in a manner quite similar to that of long term psychoanalysis; in fact, one could call the process 'psychoanalytic counseling'. There is nothing new for the psychoanalyst in the paper except in so far as it tends to demonstrate the value of psychoanalytically oriented counselors in schools and child study institutions. The verbatim record of the counseling sessions serve to point out certain pitfalls a counselor might easily make, e.g., interruption, too much leading, or overinterpretation.
