"For the first time, the psychoanalytic theory of treatment has received the detailed, penetrating, and resourceful scrutiny hitherto reserved for psychopathology. Friedman's work appears at a critical time, when psychological efforts are under heavy attack and in need of this systematic and profound presentation." - Leston Havens, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School “It is a treasure trove of thoughtful ideas in which exposition, exploration, and criticism are harmoniously interwoven.” - Steven T. Levy, M.D., Psychoanalytic Quarterly “Psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, supervisors, teachers, and students of the field will find this a rich and rewarding work. It will influence the way I supervise, teach, and talk to patients for the rest of my career.” - Robert Michels, M.D.. Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College
