Abstract

A glance at our psychotherapeutic armamentarium discloses a cleavage between the instruments aiming at diagnosis and those pointing toward therapeutic change. Most of our diagnostic tests fail to involve the patient as a total participant, on his highest level, in the test situation; thus, these are either indifferent or detrimental to the therapeutic process. Most of our psychotherapeutic methods in current practice, if they aim at making the patient more aware of himself and of others, do not lend themselves readily to diagnostic purposes because of the unavoidably active involvement of the observer-therapist in the therapeutic process
