ROBERT LINDNER — THE FIFTY-MINUTE HOUR — BANTAM (JULY 1973, 27TH PRINTING)

Description: ROBERT LINDNERTHE FIFTY-MINUTE HOURBANTAM (JULY 1973, 27TH PRINTING) CONDITION: FAIR TO GOOD paperback book, with old bookstore stamping on first page, some shelfwear, including a crease on back cover. Basically decent reading copy. {Comment from me:I finished reading this book recently, but it’s a hard book to forget so a lot of this is still lurking in my brain!!!!I did not look at this item from the viewpoint of psychology. I thought of it as five horror stories that really happened to people. As such it lived up to my expectations and more. I even began to feel as if some of these things were (or could be) happening to me!} Commentaries on line: It is a book where the author (a psychoanalyst in the pure Freudian approach) shares five case studies. If you enjoy some of what Freud threw out there, then you will enjoy this book. I find it interesting the way analysts can find meaning in everything, even the hidden meanings, even if I don't agree with it all. The author writes well, he is descriptive enough that you seem to have a full understanding of each case. He is willing to admit when he is wrong so it doesn't read like an expert trying to convince one of the benefits of psychoanalysis. Overall I enjoyed it. From a voyeuristic perspective it was fun to read about some difficult clients and how the author worked with each one. If you are not a fan of Freudian techniques then this is not the book for you. If you can enjoy dream analysis, problems with parents and sexuality, then you may find this to be a fun read. This is quite interesting, if you can get past the fact that it's incredibly dated. Seriously, does anyone believe in psychoanalysis anymore? But it provides insights both into Lindner's patients and into the state of psychology/psychiatry in the forties and fifties. ______________________ {I'll always combine shipping costs and refund any excess shipping charges for multiple-copy book orders.}For all "buy it now" items, please use ADD TO CART if you plan to order more than one item at the same time.______________ WOW!
