Hilde Bruch sets out to accomplish what has, until now, been
virtually impossible - the teaching of psychotherapy by use of the
written word, communicating the wisdom of a lifetime. Perhaps Dr.
Bruch's unique success at a task that has been tried and tried
again, only to result in stereotyped do's and don'ts, stems from
her own learning experiences with two great teachers: Harry Stack
Sullivan and Frieda Fromm-Reichmann.
Dr. Bruch shares her knowledge of the essential purpose of
intensive psychotherapy as it has been shaped over her many years
as a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and teacher. She sets forth a
theoretical frame in straightforward and unmystical language
without minimizing the complexities of demand that therapy makes on
both patient and therapist.
The reader accompanies the therapist from his first encounter
with the stranger who comes to him with his trouble through the
various steps that lead to the resolution of the problems. The
patient is viewed as a participant in a multifaceted system of many
experiences and people, not as an individual isolated from the
world around him. In Dr. Bruch's conception, psychotherapy is a
situation where two people interact and try to come to an
understanding of one another, with the specific goal of
accomplishing something beneficial for the complaining person. The
factors that help or hinder the attainment of this interaction are
spelled out in the book, and the entire process of learning
psychotherapy is thereby illumination.
