A Special Section of the journal Psychotherapy (See the Contents below) gives powerful evidence that a renewal of humanistic values and practices is taking place in contemporary psychotherapy.
The articles of this special section embody a move away from formulaic and manualized techniques and toward engaged empathic-introspective inquiry and emotional understanding. The articles, in sum, strongly suggest that what is needed to ground psychotherapeutic practice is not, in Aristotle’s language, techne but phronesis or practical wisdom. Unlike techne, phronesis is a form of practical understanding that is always oriented to the particular, to the uniqueness of each individual and his or her relational situation, including, most importantly, the therapeutic relationship.
