This book is an attempt to present the main types of psychological treatment in clear, brief, and simple language. Psychotherapeutic theories and techniques included are those which rely primarily on verbal interchanges between an adult or older adolescent patient (or client) and the agent of treatment (variously called a counselor, therapist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, or psychologist). Therapies excluded from our consideration are the physiologically oriented (drugs, shock, surgery, etc.) and the adjunctive and non-verbal methods (such as dance, art, occupational, and play therapies).

by WILLIAM GLASSER. With a Foreword by O. H. MOWRER

This is an extraordinarily significant book. Readers will themselves discover that it is courageous, unconventional, and challenging. And future developments will, I predict, show that it is also scientifically and humanly sound. For more than a decade now, it has been evident that something is seriously amiss in contemporary psychiatry and clinical psychology. Under the sway of Freudian psychoanalysis, these disciplines have not validated themselves either diagnostically or therapeutically. Their practitioners, as persons, have not manifested any exceptional grasp on the virtues and strengths they purportedly help others to acquire. And the impact of their philosophy of life and conception of man in society as a whole has been subtly subversive….

INTRODUCTION: THE ESSENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS in psychotherapy lies in the proper matching of the patient's problems and personality with the treatment procedures suitable for correction.

FROM THE FOREWORD: THE field of counseling and psychotherapy has for years presented the puzzling spectacle of unabating enthusiasm for forms of treatment whose effectiveness could not be objectively demonstrated. With few exceptions, statistical studies have consistently failed to show that any form of psychotherapy is followed by significantly more improvement than would be caused by the mere passage of an equivalent period of time. Despite this, practitioners of various psychotherapeutic schools have remained ormly convinced that their methods are effective. The growing demand for psychotherapy is evidence that many recipients of these forms of treatment also believe that they are being helped. The series of investigations reported in this impressive book have succeeded in resolving this paradoxical state of affairs, and the consequences may be far-reaching.
