The chooses to exclude every interpretative act at the beginning of the therapy and to work primarly on motivating the client. She needs to be conscious of her illness to acquire the responsability of it.

After the depressive reaction of the client the therapy begins with a more active and motivated attitude and focuses on rumination and drive to control.
