Reviews

This book is as valuable to the author's critics as it is to the many people who have followed his approach and who have tried to model their own clinical practice on some of his leading ideas. Its expository value has been greatly enhanced by careful editing, with the result that the author's ideas are available in a form that can be readily assimilated ... Rosenfeld's approach to the treatment of psychoses is an individual one, and this book is a valuable and coherent contribution to its understanding. - British Journal of Medical Psychology
