title: The phenomenology of psychotherapy.
abstract: The psychotherapeutic implications of Husserl's method of inquiry are examined within the epistemological framework of Kuhn, Piaget, and Popper, which provides a model for both psychopathology and change in psychotherapy. Change results from the experience of the therapeutic relationship that contradicts prior psychopathological paradigms. The phenomenological approach enhances this process.
