" This book has] a wealth of clinical and technical detail. As a primer on psychotherapeutic technique this book will. . .bring knowledge and stimulation to the most advanced technician"--Karl A. Menninger
"One is continuously aware that here is a truly human being at work, human in the sense of exquisite awareness, on a profoundly intuitive level, of the workings of the human totality. . . . Because of this she can bridge the vast divide that separates us from the psychotic . . . thereby gaining access to the process of recalling the patient to his lost domain."--Louise E. DeRosis, M.D., "American Journal of Psychoanalysis"

This early work by German psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the attributes needed for a successful psychiatrist and the processes involved in psychotherapy. This fascinating work, written by a contemporary of Sigmund Freud, is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history and development of psychotherapeutic treatment. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
