An exposition of the nature, possibilities and limitations of psychoanalytic treatment, defending the essence of psychoanalysis against moralistic and conformist misuse.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In this book, I propose to describe psychotherapy as a social action, not as healing. So conceived, psychoanalytic treatment is characterized by its aim--to increase the patient's knowledge of himself and others and hence his freedom of choice in the conduct of his life; by its method--the analysis of communications, rules, and games; and lastly, by its social context--a contractual, rather than a 'therapeutic, ' relationship between analyst and analysand.
