The author begins with the simple dilemma of a young group therapist who has one supervisor encourage him to express his own feelings to group patients while another supervisor cautions him to think it over first. Two hypothetical case examples are set up that use the same group of patients. In the first example, the therapist is 'analytically oriented' and is said to be objective (which he is not) with the goal of insight. The other therapist is 'experientially oriented' and is said to be subjective with the goal of awareness of feelings by an 'authentic encounter'. (What is authentic?) The author concludes that there isn't much difference after all, as suggested by the title of the paper. Her beliefs about how therapy works seem idealized and generalized, and she emphasizes the here and now.
