"Psychotherapy is not making clever and apt interpretations; by and large it is a long-term giving the patient back what the patient brings.  It is a complex derivative of the face that reflects what is there to be seen.  I like to think of my work this way, and to think that if I do this well enough the patient will find his or her own self, and will be able to exist as oneself, and to relate to objects as oneself, and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation."
