Die allgemeine Grundlage der psychotherapeutischen Behandlungstechnik auf psychoanalytischer Basis

Throughout the world the question of the common ground has been asked, the common ground of the psychoanalytic treatment technique. The tendency is in the direction of negating the question if the differences are emphasized. If the common features are emphasized, as they are here, the question can be answered in the affirmative. With the differentiation into depth psychological and analytical psychotherapy a second question arises in Germany which concerns the question of the relationship of both approaches to one another. If they are regarded as independent there is a tendency to deny the common ground of the treatment technique. If, however, the two approaches are simply regarded as different forms of using psychoanalysis, as is the case here, then the second question can also be answered in the affirmative. In order to prove the matter, rules and recommendations of the classical psychoanalytic technique are used. They were there before the formation of any schools. Thus anybody can refer to them.
