More Description
Based on more than forty-five years of research at the American Mental Health Foundation (AMHF), this intensive and expert examination of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis points out the important shortcomings in the profession and concludes that there has been a marked decline in the last decades caused by the ever-increasing use of superficial, facile treatment methods.

The solutions proposed will lead to the transformation of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis into truly viable crafts.
