Treatment planning.

“A good therapist is a good technician, an artist, a loving human being, and an individual who values self-examination about her own motives and behaviour. When I first thought of these attributes, I put "loving human being" as the first one, in that a loving therapist can concern herself with others and be of help just by radiating a special kind of warmth which attracts even mistrustful people. But there's the catch! And this is why I list technique and art ahead of lovingness when I discuss a therapist rather than a person. To be a loving human being is a prerequisite for a therapist. However, without solid technique and a certain artistic flair, a therapist can be engulfed by the problems of her patients, and she can end up crucified or devoured by their cannibalistic needs when they seek ways to fill a certain emptiness within themselves.” Fanita English: “What is a Good Therapist” TAJ: April 1997
