Abstract

The philosophy of brief therapy in a city hospital setting is outlined. Therapists frequently resist a brief and active approach and offer rationalizations against it. Most patients, however, seek only symptom alleviation or problem solving, and not insight psychotherapy. Specific treatment goals and foci must be established early when the treatment contract is formulated. Transference and countertransference play a significant role.
