Abstract
This article examines the multifaceted role of safety in psychotherapy, integrating perspectives from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic schools. The authors analyze the functions of safety in both ontogenesis and clinical practice, identifying common themes across different therapeutic orientations. Their findings highlight the importance of safety in promoting change and adaptation, but also emphasize the dialectical relationship between safety and therapeutic progress, suggesting that optimal development and treatment do not necessitate continuous maximum safety but rather a timely and contextually appropriate modulation of safety levels.
