Psychoanalysts have been careful to avoid the dangers of "de-professionalizing" their skills. There is also danger in denying the fruits of their experience to husbands and wives, who, though in conflict, are not so disturbed as to qualify for counselling or treatment in a psychiatric clinic. But caseworkers, while in no way usurping the functions and prerogatives of the psychiatrist or psychoanalyst, may yet acquire and use, under the guidance of consultants, skills through which the client may be helped to obtain abetter understanding of his often unrecognised attitudes and motives, and thus deal more effectively with his problems. This question is vital for the development of many services concerned with the mental health of the family. Contents clean, binding tight.…
