RESUMO
Through its rules and laws, every therapeutic institution provides patients with structuring. Due to relations of transference and counter-transference, therapists are faced with the concept of unconscious. Whereby the psycho-dynamic view and questioning it entails, institutional therapies raise to an increased respect for patients and a new dimension of pleasure.

The therapeutic effect and safety of alprazolam and doxepin were studied in 126 outpatients suffering from primary unipolar depression. The 6-week study was double-blind with a random allocation of treatment. Patients were treated with a flexible dose of 1.0-4.5 mg of alprazolam and 50-225 mg of doxepin per day. The mean final doses were 2.7 mg for alprazolam and 137.5 mg for doxepin. The results indicate that alprazolam and doxepin were equally efficacious. The incidence of side-effects was lower in the alprazolam treatment group.
