Are Psychologists Afraid of Therapy?

About this book

Originally published in 1950 this classic article addresses the possible reasons underpinning what the author believes to be negative feelings towards psychotherapy among the wider psychological community. Among the possibilities raised are an overattachment to mental testing; the intangible quality of dynamic psychotherapy in comparison to research and diagnosis; the misconception that therapy and diagnostic research are dichotomous and the problem of the interprofessional relationship between psychology and medicine. Are Psychologists Afraid of Therapy? (Kindle edition) forms part of an initiative by the website www.all-about-psychology.com to make important, insightful and engaging psychology publications widely available.
