Abstract
The study explores the image of the psychotherapist through an analysis of nineteen fictional literary works featuring figures of psychotherapists. The literary image was examined by means of a questionnaire and content analysis. The profile that emerges suggests that psychotherapists and the psychotherapeutic process are well understood by authors representing both individual patients and the general public.
