Abstract
A major issue in the psychotherapy of the chronically suicidal is the patient’s avoidance of his responsibility. If the patient is not helped to recognize this avoidance, the therapist’s efforts may be consigned to future attempts to either assume responsibility for the patient or to rescue him.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
