This is a volume of five analytic interviews told in great detail,
loosely fictionalized and avoiding scientific jargon. They are for
the most part harrowing and unpleasant- save for the last one in
which the doctor becomes involved in the patient's fantasy of
travel to an interstellar planet. This tale is modest and engaging
and permits the impression that Dr. Lindner is not entirely the
victim of his belief in the analytic technique. Others deal with
Charles, a psychopath who attempts to murder the doctor and is
remanded to a prison hospital; Anton, a fascist and anti-semite who
finally is called to war and is killed; Laura who eats obsessively
to hide her desire to have a child by her father... Certainly not
for psychiatrists or therapists, this is a deliberate
popularization of analytic material which will hold a curiosity
value for the lay investigator with an appetite for the abnormal. A
preface by Max Lerner adds tone. (Kirkus Reviews)
"A fascinating mixture of traditional psychoanalytic thinking with
clinical strategies that even today would be considered creative
and controversial, The Fifty-Minute Hour has never failed to
capture the imagination. . . . No student's education in
psychotherapy is complete without reading this book. Decades after
its original publication, it still stands as a pioneering landmark
in the history of psychotherapy."-John Suler
