[The dream as a relationship paradigm].

279 dreams were drawn from a sample of 32 reports on psychoanalytic treatments of female patients diagnosed either as hysteric (H) or depressed (D). Depending on the gender of the analyst (female = w; male = m) four groups Dm, Dw, Hm, Hw were distinguished. Content analysis of the manifest dreams as to the occurrence of objects, emotions as well as characteristic object-emotion combinations yielded significant differences between groups. The results indicate that dreams can be viewed as relationship paradigms.

[Current status so far: psychotherapy in transition!].

In the context of the current discussion of the volume by Grawe, Donati and Bernauer "Psychotherapie im Wandel; Von der Konfession zur Profession" (1994) the main critical points are reviewed regarding essential-theoretical issues. The crucial points of the resulting criticism refer to the fact that metastudies are historical and culture bound, to etiological validity as well as to ethical-political implications. One main statement designates the investigation by Grawe et al. as a conventional review that bases its conclusions on outcome-studies of psychotherapy that are to be considered outdated. Whether it is possible to decide which therapy is most effective is as doubtful as the necessity to contrast therapeutic orientations by discriminating valuation. The results of Grawe's therapy-outcome-analysis are put into a historical and cultural context. Thereby the findings are put into relation to particular periods and speech areas from which the included studies originate. In this context Grawe's volume appears not to be the Ultima ratio but is fruitful to initiate further research.

[Introduction to attachment theory and its significance for psychotherapy].

In the first part of this article we give a review of the basic concepts of attachment theory and summarize Bowlby's crucial thoughts about attachment. In the second part we introduce the traditional attachment methods with concrete cases.
