Abstract: Values in psychotherapy tend to be neglected. This can be traced to Freud's insistence on the scientific status of psychoanalysis. Contemporary developments in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, reviewed in this paper, render this traditional antagonism between ethics and science obsolete. Similarity, but not identify, of values between patient and therapist are associated with good outcomes in treatment.
