ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the difference between therapeutic plan and methodology the latter, in fact, refers to the clinical theory, which relates to the strategic phases in which the transactional theory can be applied to the psychotherapeutic setting. For a therapeutic or analytic plan to achieve its objectives requires, from beginning to conclusion, a succession of strategic phases. The alliance is, without doubt, influenced by the tactics of the therapist, but the global feeling of trust in the therapist as a parental substitute depends essentially on the empathy of the therapist on his capacity to answer with all three of his ego states. Casalegno has illustrated, in a valuable work, the conclusion of the therapy as a strategic under-phase in relearning. The strategic aim of relearning is that of creating a bridge between re-decision and social reality, between therapy and reality, and, therefore, to implement outside the group or the room of the therapist that which was re-decided.
