Great book

The cultural and social conditions under which psychoanalysts work have changed radically in the last few years. Many standard textbooks on technique no longer speak to the currently embattled generation of therapists. Drs. Kottler and Hazler have mastered the discipline, and they convey it with freshness and an understanding of the special difficulties of these times.

A breath of fresh air.
