Abstract
It was recently pointed out (Marmor, 1979) that although the reputation of psychoanalysis is of a very time-consuming therapy, many of Freud’s earliest treatments were quite short. Bruno Walter, the conductor, underwent a succcesful 6-session therapeutic with Freud while in a single 4-hour session Freud was apparently able to elucidate and treat the psychodynamic origins of Gustav Mahler’s sexual impotence with his wife. (Jones, 1957). Nonetheless, as psychoanalysis became more complex and its goals more diverse so did the course of therapy lengthen. The rise of the newer therapies, which began in the United States shortly after the end of the Second World War, can be seen, in part at least, as a reaction against a number of aspects of orthodox psychotherapy and particularly psychoanalysis, one of which is the inordinate duration of therapy. However, the newer therapies also tend to emphasize their primary concern with here and now experience, in contrast to the historical explorations of analysis, and many of them proudly point to their preoccupation with sensate and physical experience as a reaction to what is viewed as an excessively rational and cerebral approach to illness and health pramugated by more orthodox psychotheraupetic approaches.
