The idea of a symptom frequently, but not always, serving a useful purpose even though it may be uncomfortable to a person is probably not a difficult idea to grasp. To view it as a way of coping, a way of controlling others, a way of getting what one wants, a way of avoiding responsibility, and a way of maintaining a stable position in an erratic world are all ways of giving the symptom a special respect for its value instead of derogating it as stupid and meaningless. (Frauman Lynn, & Brentar, 1933) If the function or value of a symptom is not considered, how is that same need in the person to be managed more constructively through the therapeutic alternatives you provide?
