Upon entering his office, your therapist asks you to sit down and be comfortable. He then tells you that you should speak freely, and not to worry about censoring any thoughts you may have during the therapy session. He sits behind you to minimize any eye contact--he does not wish to serve as an authority figure during your session. At one point he cautions you about becoming defensive and suggests that you might be unconsciously attempting to block his access into gaining insight into the inner workings of your thought processes. What type of therapy do you think this is? Explain your answer.
