ABSTRACT
Que la psicoterapia se fundamenta y es reforzada por una alianza entre el terapeuta y el cliente/paciente que implica un vínculo entre el psicólogo y el cliente/paciente, así como un acuerdo sobre los objetivos y tareas del tratamiento (Cuijpers, van Straten, Anderson, Et van Oppen, 2008; Lambert, 2004; Karver, Handelsman, Et Bickman, 2006; Norcross, 2011; Shirk Et Karver, 2003; Wampold, 2007).
In 1982 the nephrologist Raphael Osheroff, 45, filed suit against Chestnut Lodge Clinic for negligence, because he was not indicated drug therapy, who could have caused him a speedy recovery from his depressive symptoms and, instead, they simply submit him to psychoanalytic psychotherapy for sevens months, despite the obvious progressive deterioration of his condition. The scientific, professional and ethical impact of the Osheroff case in the practice of psychiatry were controversial, being the most significant the epistolary debate sustained between Gerarld Klerman and Alan Stone.
