The author presents her reflections concerning psychotherapy of persons with the diagnosis of schizophrenia, based on the fundamental ideas of Professor Antoni Kepinski. Those ideas include building up trust in the therapist, creating a warm, motherly environment, showing respect to the patient, taking care of the development of his/her social needs as well as of the need of independence, which is very important to the ill. Relating to this humanistic message of Professor Kepinski, the author, basing on her experience in psychotherapy, comments and confirms the value of it in the present day approach to the therapy of persons with psychotic disorders. She discusses her therapeutic conversations and dilemmas, both the patients' and the therapist's, in the context of work at the Day Care Unit for Treatment of Psychoses of the Psychiatry Clinic in Krakow.
