"[T]his account of the recent history of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and medicine in Germany is a much broader and more sophisticated analysis than the usual simple recounting of who developed what theory when, and who modified that theory or practice... [T]his book is important reading for all in the helping professions; it requires the reader to become aware of how one's professional life is imbedded in a social-historical context and will be affected by and/or can affect the political world in which we live."
