5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for serious students of psychiatry or psychology,
By Jacques Richard, Ph.D. (Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (Paperback)
Sullivan's ideas, at the time of their writing, were revolutionary and not accepted by mainstream psychiatry. This book represents some of Sullivan’s best lectures, put together by his students after his death, and gives the student of psychiatry or psychology a penetrating conceptualization of mental health, and problems of living (to use Sullivan’s words). The interpersonal theory of psychiatry is one of anxiety in human relationships, and all of the twists, turns, and maneuvers taken by our personality (self-system) in order to avoid or minimize such anxiety. A must read.

Harry Stack Sullivan?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (Paperback)
In the world of Freud and Jung, of Horney and Adler--American Harry Stack Sullivan is almost an anomaly, -- often overlooked except by specialists, here we have something worth reading and thinking about on his work. Years ahead of his peers, Sullivan shares his learnings and we are the better for having the benefit of his experience. Read the other psychoanalysts by all means, but do not overlook Sullivan or his work at the same time.

This review is from: The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (Paperback)
Excellent recommended reading from the the author, a psychiatrist, in explaining studies of how genetics, and mostly an individual's developing years determine his or her personality, and or mental impairments, leading to certain personality traits. Stuart
