Set in the post-World War II era, the narrative reflects on the practice of long-term psychotherapy, where patients were often subjected to rigid treatment regardless of their specific needs. The author critiques the tendency to apply traditional psychoanalytic techniques without considering individual circumstances, leading to therapeutic failures and patient regressions. Despite some successes, the limitations of this approach became evident, highlighting the need for a more adaptable and responsive therapeutic model. Change in clinical practice is suggested as necessary for better patient outcomes.
