Reviews

"A major contribution to the literature of dynamic psychiatry and one that will be a source book and reference volume for many years to come . . . The author's sensitivity to the spirit of different historical periods and his familiarity with the lesser as well as the major figures of each era -- in the domains of arts and letters as well as science and medicine--is unceasingly impressive."--David Elkind, Contemporary Psychology

"In all respects a masterly work . . . a book whose richness, accuracy, and rigor are allied with an exceptional open-mindedness--containing such a wealth of material that it cannot possibly be summarized and analyzed in the usual way."--Louis Bouyer

"With admirable scholarship and brilliantly lucid style, Dr. Ellenberger has integrated history, interpretation, opinion, judgement, assessment, and insight."--Preston K. Munter, M.D.
