I know what you are saying, but as I said, psychoanalysis in it's original form is not being taught at schools of social work anymore. There are some off-shoots that work, obviously including what where once two different types of therapy...Cognitive and Behavioural. Brief-Treatment/Person Centered (which was practiced by Carl Rogers) counselling utilizes a bit from most fields, including Trait-Factor counselling, Gestalt, Adlerian, Humanistic, RET (Rational Emotive Therapy), Jungian, and Family Systems. I am hoping to but together a package for folks. CBT is of course now the most popular.
But, what I was trying to say, is a therapist uses bits and pieces of many types of counselling, and I would be hard-pressed to find a university in N. America that teaches the original, cathartic-focused Psychoanalysis. The term used is "Eclectic Therapy".
Also, I think you misunderstood, that goal setting and using a contract can take place at any point in the sessions. Until the client is comfortable, then those things may be introduced.
