Extract

A neurotic patient is like a traveller in unfamiliar country forced to rely upon a deficient or systematically falsified map. The joint explorations undertaken with the therapist can enable the patient to revise this map. One condition which must be met for this to occur is for the therapist to recognize clearly how the patient sees his relationships with others, including the therapist. The present paper reports a method of investigating how far this condition is met, using a dyad grid test completed by the patient and by the therapist.
