Some observations and questions in intensive psychotherapy
Abstract
The authors discuss their observations of acute psychiatric patients in a day hospital, noting the universality of the existential concerns that arise once the patient has confronted his illness. They discuss the problem of what determins a "cure" in emotional disturbances and suggest that the primary issue is for patients to learn to live as healthy people within the limits of their individual potential.
