Abstract
Restriction of behavior (limits) is one of the few universal elements in therapy. The value of limits in therapy has not been given sufficient attention. The therapist may find that the more precise his limits and the more quickly they are invoked, the easier it is for him to use them therapeutically. That limits are therapeutic is illustrated by 2 examples with aggressive children. It may be that the use of limits on behavior in therapy is equally as important as acceptance of the attitudes which provoke behavior.
