准确的描述是任何科学的首要要求：没有精确的描述，测量和预测是不可能的。对精神分析和心理治疗经常重复的批评之一就是针对这一所谓的缺陷，我们必须承认，这是有相当大的理由的。除了可能被视为更晚和更精细的发展的定量测量和预测之外，至少应该有可能就心理治疗情况中的可观察到的现象达成一致。然而，当认真尝试研究这个问题时，结果通常令人失望。这种幻想破灭的程度很难衡量，因为调查人员认为在这一方向上的许多努力都是徒劳的，从未公布过。在没有这种报告的情况下，很难评估这些困难是否确实不可逾越。然而，如果心理治疗的发展方向是朝着更精确的方向发展，如果心理治疗渴望成为一门科学，困难就必须面对和解决。所经历的失败可能在很大程度上是由于错误的方法，而不是由于内在的不可能充分描述心理治疗的现象。
Accurate description is the first requirement in any science: without it, measurement and prediction are an impossibility. One of the often-repeated criticisms of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy has been aimed at this alleged deficiency, and, one must admit, with considerable justification. Aside from quantitative measurement and prediction which may be viewed as later and more refined developments, it should be possible, minimally, to agree on observable phenomena in the psychotherapeutic situation. Yet, when serious attempts have been made to study this problem, the results have usually been disappointing. The extent of this disillusionment is difficult to gauge because many efforts in this direction which were considered abortive by the investigators have never been published. In the absence of such reports it is difficult to assess whether the difficulties are indeed insuperable. However, if the direction of developments in psychotherapy is toward greater precision, and if psychotherapy aspires to the status of a science, the difficulties must be faced and resolved. The failures which have been experienced are perhaps largely due to faulty methodologies rather than to an inherent impossibility of describing adequately the phenomena of psychotherapy.
