Psychotherapeutic Traction

By Henry Kellerman

The notion of traction is applied to the context of psychotherapy: i.e., the metaphorical ignition and forward movement of the psychotherapeutic process, which is what psychoanalysis is all about, viz., struggling better. Dr. Kellerman introduces the power-theme as a personality algorithm that ties the person's emotional life.This thematic algorithm is transmitted to consciousness: what keeps the individual's personality organized resulting in behavior that can be viewed as a consistent attempt to satisfy his or her basic-wish. The book is more than an abstract treatise as a substantive final section includes 5 case studies.
