In this brief review, the author stresses the interest of short-term psychotherapy in the study of psychotherapeutic processes: through modifications of time and space factors of the cure (limited duration - face-to-face) one can appreciate better the influence of the setting on the nature of the process. By comparing the psychotherapeutic situation (face-to-face) to the psychoanalytic situation (back-to-face), the author highlights some specific features of psychotherapies, in particular the influence of the infraverbal language and its consequences on the cure. In a face-to-face situation for example, the subject unconsciously tries to incorporate the therapist in his ego, and this very powerful merging mechanism may hinder the evolutive process of the treatment. Some of the aspects examined apply to any doctor-patient-relationship.
在这篇简短的综述中，作者强调了短期心理治疗在心理治疗过程研究中的重要性：通过改变治疗的时间和空间因素（有限时长——面对面），能够更好地理解治疗环境对治疗过程本质的影响。通过将心理治疗情境（面对面）与精神分析情境（背对背）进行比较，作者突出了心理治疗的一些特定特征，尤其是非言语语言的影响及其对治疗的后果。例如，在面对面的情境中，患者会无意识地试图将治疗师纳入其自我之中，而这种非常强大的融合机制可能会阻碍治疗的进展过程。所探讨的一些方面适用于任何医患关系。
