Summary:

This volume is a way of bringing to our audience current dynamic conceptions of the psychoses and their psychotherapy. Probably nowhere in the field of psychotherapy do our conceptions change so radically with the experience of few cases as they do in the treatment of the psychoses. It thus seemed timely to collate and summarize the current status of the psychotherapeutic work with psychotics. In this volume I attempted to sample the wide theoretical points of view extant in such psychotherapy--and so we have the influence of Freud, Jung, Rogers, Adler, Binswanger, Fromm-Reichmann, and others represented in the case presentations. Each provides its own justification and integrity and offers a balance and challenge for the reader. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).
