Traditional versus "new therapies."

Comments on S. A. Appelbaum's article (see record 1983-13146-001) which discussed new "human potential" therapies. The current author opines that while it is gratifying that Appelbaum (September 1982) could see how psychoanalytic therapy could benefit from some of the criticisms offered by the "new therapies," the assumption in the article that traditional equals psychoanalytic is a disservice to all those nonpsychoanalytic therapies that have been around for many years.
