Research in Psychotherapy : Proceedings

The proceedings of the 1958 conference on psychotherapy are comprehensively presented. The organization of the book follows that of the conference. Aside from the opening address, "Goals of Psychotherapy," the book includes 2 papers each on the problems of research controls and the therapist-patient relationship, and 4 papers on ways of assessing change. Each block of 2 papers is followed by the prepared comments of a discussant and an edited account of the open discussion. In addition, a summary chapter was written after the conference in order to bring together "the major issues considered at the conference."
