abstract="It is entirely admirable that we should aim to become better psychotherapists. But where this becomes an obsession with the correctness of therapeutic technique it may prove counter-productive. Too great a striving for perfection on the part of the psychotherapist does not help the patient; it only re-enacts the compulsion to perfection from which the patient himself very likely suffers. Not only is it human to err: error itself, and the capacity to recover from it, can provide both therapist and patient with unique opportunities for insight and personal growth.<p />",
