Fromm - Reichmann combines compassion with clarity.

In her book, Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy, the late Frieda Fromm-Reichmann uses her unique gifts of clarity and compassion to elucidate the often mysterious work of intensive psychotherapy. While never losing sight of her patients' humanity and dignity, Fromm-Reichman allows the reader an inside look into her sometimes difficult, yet ultimately rewarding profession. An important contribution to the field. Highly recommended for professionals as well as students of psychotherapy.
