Unlike many fields of science, the field of psychotherapy seems to lack a formal, enunciated, authoritative statement of its basic dictums.fundamental principles, foundational beliefs. A method is proposed to enable individual psychotherapists, whether theorists, researchers, or practitioners, to arrive reasonably close to their own personal foundational beliefs. The collective data may then be used to arrive closer to enunciating the foundational beliefs or sets of foundational beliefs in the field of psychotherapy. The overall aim is to enable the field to move closer to the status of a science with its own set or sets of foundational beliefs.
