Twenty Years of Psychoanalysis

摘要

This book is of interest to physicians who want a brief account of the present status of psychoanalysis in this country. The last quarter of the book describes the training and research activities at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, while the first three quarters present the proceedings of the 1952 meetings in celebration of the twentieth aniversary of the Institute. Included is a review of the twenty years by Franz Alexander, head of the Institute, and a paper on "The Place of Psychoanalysis in Medicine" by Alan Gregg. Gregg considers psychonalysis in terms of medical teaching, training, and research, and in relation to the sociological aspects of need and demand for medical care. Other papers are "The Impact of Psycho-analysis in Training in Psychiatry" by Maurice Levine, "Present Trends in Psychoanalytic Training" by Mrtin Grotjahn, "Psychoanalysis as a Basic Science" by Lawrence S. Kubie, "Psychoanalysis and the Biological Sciences" by I. Arthur TiJirsky, and "Psychoanalysis and Social Science" by Talcott Parsons.
