Peter D. Kramer Quotes

In Supportive Work, The Therapist Cedes Great Control To The Patient. It May Seem Otherwise. The Therapist Is Setting Limits, Perhaps Implicitly Commenting On The Patient's Behavior Or Sense Of Self, And So Forth, And On The Surface It Seems That The Therapist Is Taking Responsibility For The Patient's Progress. But All This Activity Leads Nowhere Except, If We Succeed, To Stability. In Supportive Therapy, Change Arises In A More Or Less Miraculous Way , Through The Patient's Suddenly Feeling Secure Enough To Move In A Certain Direction, Perhaps One Unanticipated By The Therapist. It Is This Pathless Quality Of Supportive Work - The Degree Of Blind Faith It Requires Of The Therapist - That Makes It Most Uncomfortable.
