RT Journal A1 Wells CE T1 A thrice-told tale of therapy JF Archives of General Psychiatry JO Archives of General Psychiatry YR 1976 FD October 1 VO 33 IS 10 SP 1262 OP 1264 DO 10.1001/archpsyc.1976.01770100124013 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpsyc.1976.01770100124013 AB • A case history twice discussed previously in the literature is reexamined. The patient probably suffered a manic-depressive illness, and remission, therefore, is not specifically attributable to psychotherapy. The significance of psychotherapy in the patient's treatment is argued, but for its supportive, not its curative, effects.
