| Summary |
15 case studies of neurotic and schizophrenic disorders, 3 dealing with children, the remainder with adults. The scope of techniques comprehends various schools of Freudian, Jungian, nondirective, conditioning, and eclectic psychotherapy. The process of treatment is stressed. Diagnostic test data are included in some of the cases. In an addendum following each report therapists explain their own criteria for accepting or rejecting a patient, manipulating his environment, making a diagnosis at the beginning, terminating, and evaluating the outcome of treatment. They also offer a conceptualization of their role in the case reported, suggest what aspect of their theory was particularly apparent or useful, place the case in a continuum from superficial to deep therapy, evaluate the degree of insight developed and the outcome, and discuss the effect of their own cultural orientation on therapy.
