Overview

First published in 1957 Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy summarizes and evaluates the trends in this field in the 1950s. By 1950s important changes have taken place as a result of growing acceptance of psychoanalysis by the medical community. More and more we realize the great possibilities of applying the knowledge gained from psychoanalysis to psychotherapy. What is called ‘dynamically oriented psychotherapy’ with its less complete and less intensive treatment can greatly benefit large group of patients. Dr Alexander illuminates interesting points of theory, discusses controversial issues, and offers views- his own and those of others- on questions of psychiatric training both in psychoanalytic institutes and in medical schools. This comprehensive book is a must read for everyone concerned with the urgent problem of mental health.
