ABSTRACT
Clients usually initially present for therapy with an issue they see as being in themselves, sometimes they see the issue being in another, but the issue will always be with their situation of which they are a part and the therapist becomes a part. The way in which the client relates in therapy sessions will have shades of varying depth and colour to the way in which he constellates his world of relations outside therapy sessions. Although every meeting in every situation is unique, there are patterns of relating that will play out across situations. When a person enters into the new situation of the therapy session, elements of their style that developed in the past in relation to a past situation are brought into the present encounter. The therapist’s curiosity is a vital component of the therapy session.
