A distinguished Swiss psychotherapist interprets, through the presentation of case histories, the effective work done with the mentally ill and presents a basis for spiritual and mental health. In this book, which was first published in its English translation in 1953, Dr. Alphonse Maeder has written a clear explanation of what he feels happens in the human personality that causes the whole pattern of life to be distorted—to become unharmonized and self-centred. "A PSYCHOTHERAPIST reports on the insights gleaned from his practice. This book is based upon medical experience. I have tried to present a true picture of what actually happens during the consultation. It is not so much a question of presenting the typical case material but of seeking to reproduce faithfully what occurs during the fascinating—and often anxious hours of dialogue between physician and patient."—Dr. Alphonse Maeder
