Typescripts of 10-minute segments of psychotherapy sessions often reveal instances where the therapist made incorrect statements that got the patient off his track. Tracking errors are classified and their effects described. By learning to recognize such errors therapists can diminish their frequency.

Recognition of the current focal conflict is thus taught, and this is used as an organizing principle in supervision of psychotherapy.
