The author tries very hard to connect the dialectic method of Hegel to the well-recognized need for balance in a therapist's detachment versus involvement in 'related loneliness'. Stierlin's statement that Freud excluded psychotic patients from analysis is apparently based on subsequent literature since there are those who claim that Freud, in actual practice, did not exclude psychotics.
