Abstract

Dr. Johnson stated the participants' agreement that 'dynamic psychotherapy involves a different terrain from classical psychoanalysis, a terrain to be explored

and mapped out in its own right, using the wealth of psychoanalytic concepts as a sort of compass to facilitate exploration and evolution of a rational, predictable and communicable conceptual frame of reference for treatment of masses of cases not suitable for classical psychoanalysis …'.

The problem of countertransference and the emotions of the therapist were particularly emphasized by the panel.
