Description:

Besides the patient’s past history and present intrapsychic complaints, besides his/her interpersonal relations, the patient lives in an aesthetic, spiritual, cultural, economic and environmental world of intimate things, physical places and invisible atmospheres. To focus mainly upon personal subjectivity to the neglect of the non-human factors falsifies the patient’s daily actuality and endangers therapy with artificiality. Therapy must therefore bridge into the world.

Educational Objectives:

1. To name five areas of the non-human world that impinge upon any patien~’s well-being.
2. To describe three therapeutic ways of bridging between the human and non-human.
