Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy

This early work by German psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann details the attributes needed for a successful psychiatrist and the processes involved in psychotherapy. A contemporary of Sigmund Freud, Fromm-Reichmann's work is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history and development of psychotherapeutic treatment.

"[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."
