ABSTRACT

The last chapter included client commentaries and an example of a complete case to show how my discoveries fit within the real context. The reader has now had the opportunity to partially assess the veracity of my findings by reading Case I in full. Since other possibilities and avenues may subsequently have emerged, it is important to turn attention again to the task in hand. That is to find and analyse the key principles of short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and what it is that especially contributes to the shortening of the process.
