    "The therapist must always stay in control of the therapy for the client's good."

    I think we agree, but the statement as expressed is open to a great deal of misinterpretation since the meanings of the words are vague.

    Certainly, the wisdom of making a therapeutic contract that is sound, is keeping with what we know about the law, science of psychlogy and development, gender and culture issues, and the best interest of all parties is ~the~ most important thing to control as a professional. The rest of the therapy is free to meander about somewhat inside of parameter set by a sound contract. These contacts, of course, evolve and change in the course of most therapy...but the control on the wisdom of those contracts should not.
