[Individual psychotherapy. Experience pretending to be practiced in the general hospital]. 1977

A Gutiérrez Pérez

This article points out that it is possible to carry out institutional psychotherapy, if one knows a theory and a technique which will foster the psychotherapeutic process through an approach following the psychoanalytic model, but with a limited number of sessions. A therapeutic alliance with limited goals is established; it permits to work with the demands of the patient, promoting and maintaining a positive transference which will eliminate the sense of rejection in the process of termination. The author insists on team work, necessary to review the material obtained in each session and on formulation of a psychodynamic diagnosis.
