ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how psychotherapy interacts with new technological developments. It shows that the world of therapy has two significant aspects – one that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the primary component in achieving change, and another that presents the therapeutic techniques as the central element. The world of psychotherapy has been divided into two different camps. There are: the Techniques Camp and the Relationship Camp. The main difference between the two camps was their view of the curative factor in psychotherapy that might produce the desired change. The techniques camp emphasizes the importance of the treatment method and defines treatment protocols in which certain interventions are emphasized as the generators of change. The chapter offers an excellent example of how the relationship camp can be integrated with the techniques camp. While sensory-motor psychotherapy is very much associated with the relationship camp, their practical suggestions are a good example of using diverse techniques in psychotherapy.
