title: [Problems of therapeutic training in conducting short-term psychotherapy].
abstract: On the basis of personal experience several problems facing the psychotherapist in the practice of short-term therapy are reviewed. The paper begins with a brief review of the training given with reference to the time element and the language used in psychotherapy. The chapter entitled "Hard and Soft Elements in Therapy" shows how much influence so-called external or contextual factors have on therapy. This is followed by two short chapters on the involvement of the patient's family or other partners or a health worker in the treatment given.
