Abstract
In this paper we shall discuss some issues raised by a four-year study in which techniques and concepts from the sociological theory of small groups were applied to the psychotherapy situation in the hope of furthering our understanding of this relationship. A study of the social system aspects of the psychotherapy relationship is somewhat analogous to a study of the grammar of the English language. Just as one may be unaware of the syntax and grammar underlying his communication, so may therapist and patient be unaware of certain regularities underlying their interaction( 1). The challenge of such an inter-disciplinary effort has been well formulated by a philosopher of science(2)
