Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: 'The 'open sesame' formula occurs in situations of actual or emotional impoverishment, when we find ourselves in some way restricted.'. Myth of Sisyphus: 'The eternal repetition faced by Sisyphus, as well as by all of us in our daily lives - at times when change would be most welcome - is not unlike the patient in therapy.'
