“This type of therapy depends on a real  ‘encounter,’ a real contact between therapist and client. The therapist must, moreover, care intensely, believe in the importance of and be involved in the special growth, the individual becoming, of the patient. By his or her faith, the therapist tries to lead the patient to give up fears and anxieties, concerns about ‘success’ and the opinions of others, and ultimately become concerned about his or her own authentic development.”
