    Description:  This volume gives to psychotherapy what a basic life support manual gives to the first responder: an easy way to conceptualize patients' problems and start immediate treatment. Dr. Goldstein is well qualified to provide such a manual. He is on the faculty of the Baltimore-Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis, where he is director of their Adult Psychotherapy Training Program. He is also a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Georgetown University Medical Center and currently practices psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. He is extensively published and has taught many the art of psychotherapy.

    This book is the second edition and differs from the first in the addition of a chapter describing newer schools of psychotherapy. The update allows the novice to understand how the approach illustrated fits within the context of the contemporary schools. The concise, easy-to-follow format uses a question-and-answer style. The most pertinent concepts and terms used are described in an appendix on ego functions.
