Depression following stroke: brief, problem-focused family treatment.
The brief, problem-focused treatment of a case of depression is described. Members of a family were seen in the treatment of a 58-year-old man suffering from depression secondary to two strokes. The identified patient did not attend any of the five sessions. Therapeutic interventions emphasized interdicting the self-defeating efforts of family members to be supportive and encouraging. It is proposed that successful therapeutic interventions often involve changing the behavior of persons other than the identified patient but that traditional therapists have avoided the full implication of this. Ethical concerns about this mode of treatment are considered.

[Is psychotherapy what we call "psychotherapy"?].
"It is the theory that determines what we can observe", Einstein claimed as early as 50 years ago. His statement is valid also for psychotherapy: The basic assumptions of any school of psychotherapy regarding the nature of man and of change determine what seems to be possible or impossible (and therefore "wrong"). The paper examines the practical consequences of these assumptions from the point of view of modern constructivism.
