Description
This book examines the history of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and medicine in Germany. It provides a more sophisticated analysis than the usual recounting of who developed what theory when, and who modified that theory or practice. It is important reading for all in the helping professions, and it requires the reader to become aware of how one's professional life is imbedded in a social-historical context and will be affected by and/or can affect the political world in which we live.
