An altogether admirable book--one of the most concise, precise, and lucid expositions of the nature, possibilities, and limitations of psychoanalytic treatment to be found anywhere . . . A lucid defense of the essence of psychoanalysis against moralistic and conformistic misuse.-- ""Ernest van den Haag, National Review"" Dr. Szasz has made, and continues to make, significant contributions not only to psychiatry but also to therapy, correction, law, and ethics.-- ""Humanist"" Szasz remains essential reading for psychiatrists, their patients, and all who are inspired to 'help' others . . . he both possesses significance and inspires respect.-- ""Anthony Storr, The London Sunday Times""
