Abstract
In his review of psychotherapeutic practice today, Marks (1971) has pointed out that there is a decreasing tendency to make dogmatic assertions of universal applicability of one or other form of psychotherapy to all neurotic states. There is an increasing readiness among psychotherapists of different schools to recognize that genuine therapeutic potential may be found in a variety of techniques with widely differing underlying assumptions about the nature of neurosis. It seems increasingly probable that psychotherapists of the future will need to be conversant with many techniques and the clinical indications for each, for it is becoming unrealistic to expect all neurotic problems to be solved by one technique alone.Keywords
