Originally published in 1955, the blurb read: 'Again in this book
the author expounds his main thesis - perhaps the main thesis of
all modern psychiatry - namely that our conscious pre-occupations,
thoughts and behaviour are merely the products or "symptoms" of a
process that is going on within us (basically a physiological
process) of which we are totally unconscious. Although we are at
pains to conceal from ourselves and others, and even vehemently to
deny, the nature and the very existence of this fundamental
unconscious process, it is nevertheless the determinant of all that
is us, biologically, psychologically and sociologically. In the
author's own words: "It is the force behind all activity, all life.
It exists unseen in the most apparently superficial human
relationship, even in the interview - as this book will show. It
alone can give us the meaning of what we do and feel." The
theoretical section of the book deals with the interviewer and the
unconscious forces which determine the effects and the therapeutic
results of the interview. The longer practical section
demonstrates, by abundant examples from clinical material and by
complete documentaries of actual psychiatric interviews, that it is
unconscious forces which determine the patient's symptomatic
picture, his behaviour, his attitude to life, and above all his
emotional relationship to the psychiatrist - and indeed to everyone
he meets in every personal contact. The elucidation of this process
should be of the utmost interest and of the utmost practical value
to each of us in our every contact, superficial or deep, with every
human being whom we meet in the course of our lives. The book will
appeal to a wide public. Although it demonstrates the deepest and
most worthwhile aspect of modern psychology and psychiatry, it
avoids technical jargon and is written in a cheerful, lively and
lucid style, easily assimilable by everybody.' Today it can be read
and enjoyed in its historical context. This book is a re-issue
originally published in 1955. The language used is a reflection of
its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by
this re-publication.
