Summary:

"This treatise represents a logical continuation of Volume I of The Clinical Interview, [see 29: 4009] in which a method of teaching associative exploration leading to a structural diagnosis of a neurotic complex has been outlined." A goal-limited psychotherapy called sector therapy is here developed from the associative anamnesis. This procedure "acts directly upon a limited, chosen sector of the patient's symptoms, thereby influencing the entire personality." Differences between sector therapy and psychoanalysis are stressed"-- APA PSycNet
