A description of the revolutionary clinical methods developed by George Frankl. The reader is invited into the consulting room to witness - at least to some extent - how the patient is led to reveal to himself, as well as to the analyst, the secret world of his unconscious mind. Frankl's therapeutic methods enable the patient to recall previously hidden experiences of infancy, along with their physical reaction formations, and actually re-experience traumatic events which were responsible for his neurotic and psychotic symptoms. This also throws new light upon the origins of many physical diseases and makes them accessible to psychological treatment. Frankl's therapeutic innovations are intended to set new standards in psychoanalytic therapy. His book provides information for mental health workers, psychoanalysts and psychiatrists, as well as for medical practitioners who are interested in the psychosomatic aspects of medicine.
