The basic concepts of present-day psychoanalysis—both as to theory and to therapy—are contained in this book. Beginning with Freud’s cornerstone formulations, The Outline of Psychoanalysis presents a clear and accurate picture of all the major developments in the field. Here the reader will find authoritative statements by Freud, Adler, Jung, Reich, Abraham, Sullivan, Horney, Alexander, and other distinguished figures too numerous to list. For an understanding of man’s nature and development, his goals and difficulties, his driving forces and defenses—for this and more, the reader will do well to know the substance of this book.
