Abstract:
The author reminds first a few elements of his own conception about the focalization as well as the influence of the setting on the psychic functioning. He shows how the dynamic elements which enlighten the central conflict of the patient occur already during the first minutes of the first interview. Such a conceptualization applies not only to short psychotherapies but also to all vital experiences which may be solved with a punctual psychotherapeutic intervention (1-3 sessions).
