`This book issues a challenge to anyone in the field of psychotherapy who is resigned to seeing psychotherapy as solely a service activity or an art or craft. Instead, Langs invites us to see that psychotherapy, clinical technique and practice may have intricate and fundamental conditions to the scientific laws of nature and the universe. This work will also be of value to those psychotherapists who are interested in asking research questions about the process and technique of psychotherapy. It is also a refreshing read in a postmodern era where the pursuit of validity and fundamental laws seems to have gone out of fashion' - New Therapist

Robert Langs is a practising psychoanalyst, Visiting Professor of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York and Honorary Visiting Fellow of Regents College, London. He is the author of over 40 books, including a full-length play entitled Freud′s Birds of Prey, and some 150 papers on psychotherapy and related topics in which the quest for a science of psychotherapy and its integration with other sciences has taken a prominent place.

Summary

An investigation of the ways in which science has a bearing on the clinical techniques and practice of psychotherapy. It notes parallels between the emotion-processing mind and phenomena that have been scientifically observed and charted in areas of evolution, the immune system and the brain.
