- Summary
- Harrison, a psychiatrist who works with people who have experienced severe and enduring mental illness, offers the first detailed record of a set of experiments conducted during World War II with soldiers suffering from neurosis. He explains that from them emerged two new forms of group psychotherapy that challenged the traditional view of psychiatric patients as passive recipients of treatment. He draws on interviews and letters as well as published accounts.
