Te essence of therapeutic sanctuary is to provide a context for the patient’s growth toward greater psychological well-being, which implies a genuine relatedness with the person who is his or her therapist. The provision of human sanctuary is manifested in the therapist’s attunement as an alert, abiding human presence which is both permissive and protecting.
