Abstract

A patient in whom a series of treatments of all sorts had failed was given two trials of psychotherapy over a prolonged period. Although the patient judged the trials of psychotherapy to be a failure, and therapy was terminated, he does seem to have matured, and his disturbed behaviour has ceased. The possible reasons for this are discussed.
