| Summary |
Following a survey of the differences between major proponents in the uses of the action methods within each approach, (usually) two brief case examples are presented. Included is case narrative and commentary, offering the therapist's rationale for how the session was structured, what the therapist looked for, and what was expected to occur. Also issues discussed include dealing with resistance, the value of successive uses of action methods, and therapist characteristics desirable for the effective use of these methods.
