Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy

“Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy” is a 1960 treatise by German psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. Within it, she looks at the subject of intensive psychotherapy, outlining the methods and reasons behind them with reference to real cases. This volume is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in psychotherapy and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “The Psychiatrist: Personal And Professional Requirements”, “Insight Into The Emotional Aspects Of The Doctor-Patient Relationship”, “The Psychiatrist’s Part In The Doctor-Patient Relationship”, “The Psychiatrist’s Attitude Toward Cultural And Ethical Values In Its Relatedness To The Goals Of Psychotherapy”, “Considerations Of The Psychiatrist In The Establishment Of The Treatment Situation”, etc. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann (1889 – 1957) was a German psychiatrist and contemporary of Sigmund Freud who fled Nazi oppression by emigrating to America during World War II. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
