All that patients need, including patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, is a competent therapist. They do not need shock treatment or even medication. These papers share what I think a competent therapist can use. I hope that competent therapists can make use of this book, as well as those who are not yet competent therapists but who aspire to become one. I think that Drs. Cosgro and Widener have done an excellent job in selecting the papers for this compilation. I have spent more than half a century as a professional psychoanalytic psychologist. This book is a compilation of what I have learned in a lifetime.All that patients need, including patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, is a competent therapist.
