abstract: Social requirements of shortness and efficiency influence the psychotherapeutical Situation in many ways. Based on this background the author first deals with the concept of time which showed mythic features in Sigmund Freud's writings while today we assume linear processes. This has a direct effect in dealing with therapy time where currently short-time therapies dominate. An understanding of therapy time as a setting variable enables a structuring procedure in both out-patient and in-patient therapies where the end of therapy is included early. The article ends with some remarks on how the therapist handles his time.
