title: [Short-term psychotherapy].
abstract: Short-term psychotherapy is characterized by a reduction in the number of interviews as compared with the conventional methods and by more limited therapeutic objectives. It is still based on psychoanalysis, but the setting and problematics are different. Interviews take place face to face and include a so-called focalization. The results, on the whole, are interesting. Short-term psychotherapy constitutes a more expeditious approach making the best possible use of available resources.
