ABSTRACT
In spite of the immense advances of the present century in the understanding and treatment of neurotic illness, many problems remain that are both pressing and largely unsolved. The present work approaches two of these: first, that of reducing the length of psychotherapy; and second, that of basing generalizations about psychotherapy on evidence that is publishable and also contains the minimum of unsupported inference. The value of any contribution, however small, to these two problems needs little emphasis.
