	Since every person is unique, any one-size-fits-all approach to therapy will ultimately fail. For me good therapy must be individualized. It is like jazz. It requires a sound basis in the fundamentals, and years of experience - at which point the therapist has the freedom and flexibility to improvise and use a variety of approaches and tools, geared to what the patient needs, rather than what the therapist believes.
