ABSTRACT

Let me preface this chapter by giving the reader a glimpse into my past and hence my subjectivity. Since I have made some rather bold claims about the role of the therapist’s subjectivity in his choice of theory and on the course of treatment, I need to address the question to what extent my proposals are merely the very limited outcome of my own unique experience. As I have tried to make clear, we cannot extract our subjectivities from our theories but only make them explicit.
