Not every story has a happyending Rereading the introduction after finishing the text, I'm reminded that the author was investigated by HUAC. No wonder two of his five case studies show him curing the politics of a communist organizer and an American Nazi agitator, not to mention resolving the psychosis of a Manhattan Project physicist!

If not convenient, theses cases at least appear conveniently selected. The book is highly readable, much more literary than scientific, though bits of psychoanalytic jargon get dropped t Rereading the introduction after finishing the text, I'm reminded that the author was investigated by HUAC.

The book is highly readable, much more literary than scientific, though bits of psychoanalytic jargon get dropped throughout. This granddaddy of psychoanalytic case studies for a popular sauce is basically a pulp novel. In particular the author's approach to human sexuality in general and to the topics of sexual orientation and child sexual abuse specifically feels like a product of its time.

Somehow these neat stories are less credible than the ones Susie Orbach makes no secret of constructing from whole cloth. Yet I do take away from this book a message about human wellness: kindness matters. So many hurts that we expect people--children especially--to just shrug off and move past end up shaping people's lives, and not for the better.

People do have a real and lasting impact on each other. Heady stuff. These salacious, highly readable tales seem tailored for a pop audience. They're probably worth reading anyway, and possibly not just for the entertainment value. Dec 01, Vlad rated it really liked it. Although many of the cases presented in this book boil down to unsolved Oedipal issues, it's still a great book both for the psychologist and the untrained person alike.

For the most part, Lindner tells the background of his patients and the facts occuring during the analysis, but not the psychoanalyst's insights.

Yet, for what it might lack in insightfulness, it makes for in the "exotism" of the presented cases the first and the last being my favorites. The book might seem a little dry sometimes, especially compared to modern authors and psychoanalysts, such as Yalom, but one must remember that this book was written during the 40's and the 50's, when the main view about psychoanalysis used to be more strict than in our times.

At the time I was convinced I wanted to be a physician. Now 15 years later I am glad I followed my gut and chose to become a therapist. This book reminded me of a time when working with people was new and exciting and awe-inspiring. For a book written in the s, it is interesting how many times I found myself relating my experiences in the therapy office with the author's.

At times h I rated this book so high because it was one of the first books I read about therapy when I was in high school. At times he struggles with the patients he sees, sometimes he has issues with time management, boundary issues with patients, and how he conceptualizes the patient's issues. All issues relevant to the modern therapeutic process.

The cases recorded in the book have a thriller quality to them, making the book a compulsive read. I was reading it more as a fiction than nonfiction likely because of the extremity of the characters portrayed in the book.

They are simply not people one expects to come across in a non-fictional world.

The writing is really good, which is a plus to someone like me who is vaguely skeptical of the Freudian psychoanalytic approach, but wouldn't miss a fun read for anything.

Two community mental health centers in the Northeastern United States form the setting for this ethnographic study of dreams, dream telling, and dream interpretation.

To gather information about American attitudes toward dreams and dream telling, the author observed and interviewed employees of these centers: social workers, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists, secretaries, and medical technicians. The book also contains a comprehensive literature review of the research on dreams and an appendix of narrative statements made by informants on their dreams, their work, and their relationships.

Extending the themes of Contemporary Psychoanalytic Foundations, The Therapeutic Situation in the 21st Century is a systematic reformulation of fundamental psychoanalytic concepts, such as transference, therapeutic action, and the uses of psychotropic drugs, in the light of recent developments in postmodernism, complexity theory, and neuroscience.

Leffert offers formulations of areas not previously considered in any depth by psychoanalysts, such as power relations in the analytic couple, social matrix theory, and narrative theory informed by considerations of archaeology, genealogy, complexity, memory, and recall. He alsoconsiders new areas, such as the role of uncertainty and love in thetherapeutic situation.
