  This text presents thinking on psychoanalysis. Communicative theory re-visions the therapeutic encounter, addressing some of the criticism levelled at classical psychoanalytic technique. Rather than focusing on the distorted elements of client's communications it highlights client's valid unconscious perceptions of therapists' management of the therapeutic environment. The hallmark of communicative technique is that is gives the clients' innate capacity to guide the treatment process. Thus the balance of power is consistently addresses.
