ABSTRACT

It is not easy for me to comment on Dr.Alexander’s technique since I have no first-hand experience of this, nor have I ever had discussions with anyone using the technique. Such knowledge as I have comes from some reading and some contacts with patients who had been treated according to that technique. I have, however, had some experience of discussions with analysts using a variety of active techniques. Some of my disagreements are with active techniques in general, usually derived from Ferenczi.
