title: [Value of single case studies in psychotherapy].
abstract: The authors explain the value and different kinds of single-case study and the conditions indicating when such studies are called for. They show the necessity of using the patient-centered approach to a greater extent than hitherto in psychotherapy practice and research. Studies performed by the authors are used as a basis for discussing questions relating to applications, and the authors present learning curves of successfully and unsuccessfully treated psychotherapy patients which have never been shown before in literature dealing with psychotherapy.
