Condition: new

Cushman (California School of Professional Psychology) uses an interpretive historical approach to the cultural history of psychotherapy to show how and why the discipline was created and its role in American life, arguing that its establishment as a social institution may reproduce some of the ills it is meant to heal. He suggests a way to use interpretive methods in the everyday practice of psychotherapy. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
