The Talking Cure

Psychoanalysis in its purest form, America in the 1940's and 1950's. Don't be cruel, things have moved on since then, and drugs to treat serious mental disorders had not been discovered (by accident) at this point. There are lots of different types of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy but all start with Freud and end with Freud. One thing that Freud understood, we are all a bit Neurotic. One of his most important books was called the Psychopathology of Everyday Life. Thats you and me that is.
