Unconscious Therapeutics: Or The Personality Of The Physician (1906)

By Alfred Taylor Schofield

Book Overview

Unconscious Therapeutics: Or The Personality Of The Physician (1906) is a book written by Alfred Taylor Schofield that explores the role of the physician's personality in the healing process. The author argues that the unconscious mind of the physician plays a significant role in the therapeutic process, and that a physician's personality can have a profound impact on the patient's well-being. The book draws on psychoanalytic theory and emphasizes the importance of empathy, intuition, and self-awareness in the practice of medicine. Schofield also discusses the ethical implications of the physician-patient relationship and the need for physicians to maintain a professional distance while still being emotionally engaged with their patients. Overall, Unconscious Therapeutics offers a unique perspective on the practice of medicine and the importance of the physician's personality in the healing process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
