Summary/Abstract: This article is an examination of demand contracts, an idea originally presented by the author a few years ago. It seeks to further develop this idea of such contracts which often occur unstated in many therapy situations. Further clarify what a demand contract is, impacts on how it can contribute to client's lying, permissions given by the therapist can how games and enactments can be played out in psychotherapy. This paper also demonstrates how client's and therapist's always have a dual relationship in their work together and how demand contracts play a role in the formation of such a dual relationship.
