ABSTRACT
In this piece (Psychiatric Times, November 2001) I revisited my intermittent hobby of developing a General Theory of Psychotherapy. As I have said, I am always wary of Grand Systems because of the danger that some unsuspecting clinician might mistake them for reality, and so have avoided making a career of spinning such systems. On the other hand, our trainees' ongoing need for some general orientation to a bewildering array of interventions, whose underlying philosophical assumptions are often mutually contradictory, has given me ample excuse to offer occasional overviews like "Getting Two (2.0) People into the Room" in Part II , and like the following.
