This book is an exploration and mapping of the frontiers of
research in psychotherapy. The authors make a systematic effort to
discover where the science is going; analyzing conceptual problems,
trends, and issues; record their interviews with the leaders in the
field; and recommend new directions for research. The volume is the
result of a three-year study on collaborative research in
psychotherapy by the National Institute of Mental Health, and was
first published in 1972. In Changing Frontiers in the Science of
Psychotherapy Allen E. Bergin and Hans H. Strupp introduce the
reader to therapeutic science as it appeared to them during a three
year process of evaluating available literature, conducting
interviews with scientists and therapists, and exchanging and
formulating viewpoints. Personal reflections and experiences were
gleaned from working papers, correspondence, and personal material,
all of which gave life to the ongoing processes of science and
provide considerable insight into everyday reality behind the
scenes. The prominent therapists interviewed in this book include
Arnold A. Lazarus, Lester Luborsky, Arthur H. Auerbach, Lyle D.
Schmidt, Stanley R. Strong, Paul E. Meehl, Howard F. Hunt, Bernard
F. Riess, Thomas S. Szasz, Arnold P. Goldstein, Gerald C. Davison,
Bernard Weitzman, J. B. Chassan, Kenneth M. Colby, Albert Bandura,
Robert S. Wallerstein, Harold Sampson, Louis Breger, Howard Levene,
Ralph R. Greenson, Milton Wexler, Carl B. Rogers, Charles B. Traux,
Joseph D. Matarazzo, Neal E. Miller, Henry B. Linford, Peter H.
Knapp, John M. Shlien, David Bakan, Marvin A. Smith, and Peter J.
Lang, all of whom remain leading figures in the literature on
psychotherapy.
