The author differentiates psychoanalysis from psychotherapy on the basis of whether or not the resistances and transferences are analyzed, whether or not transference development is encouraged, whether the resolution of the basic conflict is attempted, and whether the therapist is in the role of transference figure only or as a real object to the patient. Zavitzianos advocates limiting the goals of psychotherapy, its duration, and the extent to which interpretations are made. He warns against id interpretations, arousing the guilt of the patient, encouraging the development of sexual feelings for the therapist, dream interpretation except where it is partial, and the use of drugs since they encourage passivity, dependency, and magic. The latter this abstractor considers a courageous position in these days of much grant support for investigations of drug therapy.
