Description

Presents the stories of three patients in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis who recovered from severe disturbances, each of which was followed for over 20 years. The cases are discussed in terms of such themes as the patients' needs to be rescued from destructive or self-destructive behavior and their constructive use of life experience. The author notes the importance of management, an atmosphere of warmth, dedicated but objective concern, and a therapeutic alliance in therapy.
