ABSTRACT
In recent years much more attention has been paid to the ethics of therapy. One of the strongest influences in making this happen was the revelation of Alice Miller (1985) that not only was there such a thing as child abuse, but that the therapist in the session could often be abusing the client all over again. This created an enormous impression, not only on the psychoanalysts who were Miller’s main targets, but also on therapists of all persuasions who suddenly saw many of their interventions in quite a different light.
