Abstract
Exploratory psychotherapy with alcoholics must address the problem of requiring abstinence. This depends upon the patient’s capacity to abstain. In turn, this capacity is reflected in the specific transference issue of ability to introject the therapist’s caring concern for the patient and for his wellbeing.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
