ABSTRACT
This conclusion present some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in preceding chapters of this book. The book talks about the rightful place of psychotherapy and its social offspring, the Life Focus Community group. Life Focus Community group identify religion with supernatural guidance and its incontrovertible standards for rightful living. Psychotherapy's prospects for establishing a social trust in its explorations, while hospitable to the supernatural beliefs of some of its members, must be achieved in its own thematic and procedural vehicles. Psychotherapy has historically made prodigious contributions to the conceptualization of the human existence but has fallen short on the other components of this triad: continuity and community. Psychotherapy's relationship to continuity was bounded by its concept of "terminated therapy" and by its limited mission to solve acute problems. The Life Focus Community groups contrast the centrality of a vertical relationship to God with horizontal conversational engagements, where people talk to each other about key aspects of their lives.
