5.0 out of 5 stars Rewarding though difficult, June 7, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Will Therapy (The Norton library) (Paperback)
Rank's colleague and first biographer, Jessie Taft, translated this work with his approval in 1936. Regrettably it is out of print, since it presents his approach to therapy in wonderful detail. He does not give many case examples, so the book is best suited for experienced therapists or those in training (receiving supervision). Expect to read this at 10 pages per hour and not all at once. The work brings out his emphasis on choice, will, creativity, responsibility, ethics, an egalitarian (non-authoritarian) relationship between therapist and client, etc. Many of these ideas have seeped into modern (post-Freudian) therapy via Carl Rogers, Irvin Yalom, and Esther Menaker, but Rank, who died at 55 in 1939, is only now receiving due respect.
