Illustrates dialectical dilemmas and powerful dynamics that can be enacted between individuals, teams and patients endeavouring to cope with distress. Describes and elaborates the dialectical philosophy, providing a framework for the synthesis of clinical interpersonal encounters and metaphorical concepts of a therapy seesaw.
