简介 我们生活在一个充满歧义的世界，在这样的世界中，实验的目的是对观察到的现象做出适当的解释。在可能存在潜在规律的地方，实验可以更容易地了解哪些关于这些规律的假设可以明智地接受，哪些假设是错误的，因此需要改变。简而言之，实验中的控制条件的作用是控制现象的可能解释范围。这里将争论的是，实验的想法对于理解和推进心理动力学理论至关重要。它在两个方面很重要：首先是评估治疗结果，其次是对心理动力学治疗本质的描述。治疗是一种患者既是实验者又是实验对象的活动。
Introduction We live in a world of ambiguities, and in such a world the purpose of experiment is to allow appropriate interpretations of what is observed. Where there-may be underlying regularities, the experiment makes it easier to know which hypotheses about those regularities can sensibly be entertained and which need to be changed because they are mistaken. Control conditions in experiments function, simply, to control the range ofpossible interpretations of phenomena. It will be argued here that the idea of the experiment is of fundamental importance for understanding and advancing psychodynamic theory. It is important in two ways: first in evaluating the outcomes of therapy, and secondly as a description of the nature of psychodynamic therapy. Therapy is an activity in which the patient is both experimenter and subject of a kind of experiment.
