A comprehensive presentation of the dynamics of neurosis, with
valuable clinical material and a discussion of treatment;
translated from the German. The wealth of clinical and theoretical
data which psychoanalysis has been gathering for almost forty years
as yet awaits an adequate systematization. A number of summaries
and more or less complete systematic reviews of the field of
psychoanalysis have been attempted and a number of them, of greater
or less value, have been published with either the specialist or
the general medical or or lay public in mind. Dr. Fenichel's
Outline is not one of these attempts. It is rather a systematized
and almost impersonal presentation of clinical data which
psychoanalysis has collected in the course of almost forty years
and Dr. Fenichel frankly sacrifices simplified clarity to
systematic completeness. The clinician will find it a very useful
reference book; the general medical reader or the psychologist will
find it to be a plain statement of fact made without prejudice or
special preference to any of the variety of currents in present day
psychoanalytical thought. It is the first outline of what the
psychoanalytical trends are in the field of clinical work, leaving
out the controversial attitudes which are always to be found in a
living scientific discipline that has not yet become dogmatized.
