The first goal is for the clinician to find the patient, and the patient to find the clinician, as both are required for a real alliance.

An argument can be made that relationship building is the treatment.

Suffering brings the patient to us...the patient needs to feel heard and seen-that is, met, by another person.

Of course they fought as lovers must do to find a liveable space.
