title: Monologue, dialogue, and soliloquy.
abstract: Psychoanalytical therapy can be seen along developmental lines of three phases, the phases correlating with the early mother/child relationship which is reenacted in the transference relationship. At times one or the other of the phases can be totally permanent, but there can be alternation of the various phases both within a session and between sessions. Techniques implied for therapy are outlined and discussed, as the phases are explicated and related to Rickman's one-, two-, and three-or-more-body relationships.
