There are two "psychotherapies." The first, very close to psychoanalysis, may be defined as that mental treatment whose central focus is the analysis of the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist in the here and now, and whose goal is insight. This is psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The second is nonpsychoanalytic psychotherapy, which bypasses the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist, and by so doing may be defined as that mental treatment based on suggestion, with the goal of subjective improvement or symptom relief. Each therapy has its appropriate role in human experience. The basis of nonanalytic therapy, suggestion, is antithetical to both the means (analysis) and ends (insight) of analytic therapy.
有两种“心理治疗法”。第一种与精神分析非常接近，可定义为这样一种心理治疗：其核心焦点是当下对患者与治疗师关系体验的分析，目标是获得领悟。这就是精神分析心理治疗。第二种是非精神分析心理治疗，它绕过患者与治疗师关系的体验，这样做可被定义为基于暗示的心理治疗，目标是主观改善或症状缓解。每种治疗法在人类体验中都有其适当的作用。非分析治疗法的基础——暗示，与分析治疗法的手段（分析）和目的（领悟）都是对立的。
