An altogether admirable book--one of the most concise, precise, and lucid expositions of the nature, possibilities, and limitations of psychoanalytic treatment to be found anywhere . . . A lucid defense of the essence of psychoanalysis against moralistic and conformistic misuse.

Synopsis
In the Ethics of Psychoanalysis , Thomas Szasz describes psychotherapy as a social action, not as healing. Conceived in this way, psychoanalytic treatment is characterized by its aim--to increase the patient's knowledge of themself and others and hence freedom of choice in the conduct of their life; by its method--the analysis of communications, rules, and games; and lastly, by its social context--a contractual, rather than a therapeutic, relationship between analyst and the one being analyzed. The Ethics of Psychoanalysis remains one of the most concise, precise, and lucid expositions of the nature, possibilities, and limitation of psychoanalytic treatment to be found anywhere.

    I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
