This review is from: are you considering psychoanalysis? (Hardcover)
This book was written 50 years ago by an esteemed group of psychoanalysts in the inner circle of Karen Horney as an attempt to explain the process of Psychoanalysis to the public, helping to elucidate what goes on, what to expect, and what are the respective roles of the analyst and patient. In our world of quick-fix, medication-oriented therapies, this book is sadly rather dated. It is a fine work, but relies on techniques that are no longer practiced in their pure form, and I look forward to a new book that talks to the public about the ways to look at contemporary treatments (hopefully NOT written by a drug company!) so as to approach the therapeutic alliance intelligently. There is, however, much to be learned here from the quick reviews of some basic schools of therapy, a nice overview of Horney's Culturalist orientation, and a demystification of what might be popularly thought of as a scary or intolerably deep investment of effort.
