A must read for serious students of psychiatry or psychology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Sullivan's ideas, at the time of their writing, were revolutionary and not accepted by mainstream psychiatry. This book represents some of Sullivan’s best lectures, put together by his students after his death, and gives the student of psychiatry or psychology a penetrating conceptualization of mental health, and problems of living (to use Sullivan’s words). The interpersonal theory of psychiatry is one of anxiety in human relationships, and all of the twists, turns, and maneuvers taken by our personality (self-system) in order to avoid or minimize such anxiety. A must read.
