Relying primarily on Weiss and Sampson's control‐mastery theory (Sampson, 1976 Sampson, H. 1976. A critique of certain traditional concepts in the psychoanalytic theory of therapy..

I use the term patient in the original sense of the word—one who suffers—rather than in the current medical model usage (see Silberschatz, 2005 Silberschatz, G. 2005. Transformative relationships: The control‐mastery theory of psychotherapy, New York: Routledge. [Google Scholar], p. xvi). work in psychotherapy to master their problems and conflicts. My focus is on two particular concepts: the patient's plan for therapy and the patient's testing of the therapist during psychotherapy. Keywords: Control‐mastery theorypsychodynamic theorypsychotherapy Notes 1. I use the term patient in the original sense of the word—one who suffers—rather than in the current medical model usage (see Silberschatz, 2005 Silberschatz, G. 2005. Transformative relationships: The control‐mastery theory of psychotherapy, New York: Routledge. [Google Scholar], p. xvi). 2. I am limiting my discussion here to tests in psychotherapy. However, it should be noted that conscious and unconscious testing occurs in all relationships; indeed, Weiss (1993 Weiss, J. 1993. How psychotherapy works, New York: Guilford Press. [Google Scholar]) argued that testing is the primary way that people explore their interpersonal worlds. 3. This case is drawn from a training DVD, Psychotherapy Case Formulation from the Perspective of Control‐Mastery Theory, that my colleagues Susan Badger, Zohar Itzhar‐Nabarro, and I developed
