ABSTRACT
In the two previous chapters, I have discussed examples of practice in two professions usually considered very different from one another.
The differences between architecture and psychotherapy are so very striking that at first glance there seems to be very little point in searching for resemblances. To begin with, the goals of the two professions have almost nothing to do with one an other. The one aims at designing good buildings on a site; the other, at curing mental illness or helping people to cope with the problems they encounter in their lives. One uses the media of sketchpad, delineations, scale models; the other, talk. The architect works in his studio; the therapist, in a clinic or office. And the two professions draw on very different bodies of pro fessional knowledge.
