PREFACE This volume is a sequel to yet independent of our Paranoia:
A Study in Diagnosis, Reidel, Dordrecht and Boston, 1976. Whereas
our first book centered on diagnosis, this centers on treatment. In
our first volume, all discussions of nosology (theory of illness)
and of treatment was ancillary to our discussion of diagnosis;
similarly all discussion of this volume dealing with nosology -
there is very little on diagnosis here - is ancillary to our
discussion of psychotherapy. It is still our profoundest conviction
that to speak of treatment without diagnosis is meaningless, if not
irresponsible, since otherwise one does not know what one is
talking about. Hence, our present study, though it centers on
theories of treatment, links psychotherapy with psychopathology. It
is the rationale of psychotherapy which is of importance, and the
rationale dwells in this link. We wish our present study to be
self-contained and understood by readers who are not familiar with
our first book - or with any specific literature. Our discussion of
medicine in general, meaning the rationale of therapy in general,
helps the uninitiated reader, as well as the initiated, we hope: it
certainly has helped us. We did not see how else can we study a
branch of medicine; we felt the need for some idea of how medicine
is supposed to work.
