Life is difficult. Psychotherapy is one way to address life's difficulties. It is a science in that it requires knowledge of interpersonal and family dynamics, emotional wellness, and an awareness of the impact of cultural systems on all of us. It requires communication skills, capacity for insight, and the ability to suspend judgment. As a professional relationship, psychotherapy is also an art. When I meet a new person or family, I paradoxically cannot forget my knowledge and experience, while at the same time must be open to a new person and their experiences. Resonance is an art. Psychotherapy must be collaborative.
