nondirective therapy, n.Definitions

Nondirective therapy (n.) directs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the patient by being completely nondirective — as tight a double bind as any.

Nondirective therapy (n.) makes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the therapist "stupid" and "passive" like a Taoist: he only restates what the client says, with no theory of what ought to be cured.
