PROGRESS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY

Abstract

This is the first of a series of annual volumes intended to demonstrate developments in the field of psychotherapy. The contents are, for the most part, presentations of papers and discussions of the papers at the Section of Psychotherapy of the American Psychiatric Association held in Atlantic

City in 1955. There is so much material divided into 31 separate parts written by 41 different people that a short review cannot do the volume full justice. Section I is an introduction by Fromm-Reichmann; Section II consists of articles referring to principles of psychotherapy; Section III is labeled Schools of Psychotherapy, and consists, for the most part, of historical, theoretical and methodological issues from a variety of points of view; Section IV examines developments in some European countries and in South America; Section V is a summary by J. L. Moreno.
