ABSTRACT

Metaphorically, Psychotherapy is "The Art of the Fugue" that exists in words. At its best, it combines the three dialogues that take place within it, in perfect timing or synchronicity. The first is the conscious dialogue spoken and heard between the therapist and the client. The second is the dialogue taking place between the client and his inner self that is present in the preconscious of the therapeutic state. And the third is the dialogue that is gradually developing but is so far concealed from the client who is conducting it with himself in an unformed language—a language belonging partially to the unconscious. This completes the analogy with the world of music. This chapter mentions three aspects that do much to promote bridging and a sense of cooperation in societies that are divided both culturally and politically, and that could contribute even to a minor degree to the "harmony in concert" that is formed in a therapeutic, multicultural, environment.
