title: Toward unification of psychotherapies: a complementary model.
abstract: The emergence of different models of psychological healing from Freud to the present, and specific features which characterize "new" psychotherapies in contrast to psychoanalysis are examined. The author maintains that these represent a chronological evolution of therapeutic forms which are complementary and which portend the unification of the psychotherapies.
