Warkentin, Johnson and Whitaker attempt to describe and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of multiple therapists with one patient. The number of therapists varied from two to ten and the number of sessions from five to thirty. In the twenty-five patients treated with this method the responses of the patients so treated are compared to responses in individual therapy. This experiment seems to disprove the old adage that two heads are better than one. The facts would indicate that ten heads are worse than none. The whole situation seems to be fertile ground for acting out in the therapy and lends itself to a confusion in understanding the problems of ambivalence.
