patients in therapy (and you certainly had that feeling if you have seen Jay
Haley's videotape demonstrations -e.g. at one of the "The Evolution of
Psychotherapy" Conferences. However, reading the following article makes
you appretiate the newer antipsychotic medications, and how much easier it is
to help unresponsive patients with them. You may also wonder in reading this
text of what is that you would do differently in therapy - [maybe everything!!!]}:
