Abstract

This paper considers the relationship between humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapies. It argues that these two "forces" or traditions are closer than they sometimes appear, and demonstrates this with regard to ideas about wellbeing and social instincts. Drawing on the metaphor of a bridge, the paper explores a number of options with regard to the relationship between these traditions.
