Synopsis: The book contains numerous case histories that provide ample illustrations for Dr. Stekel's method of active psychotherapy. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was a Viennese psychiatrist and disciple of Freud, credited with psychoanalyzing over 10,000 individuals. "It is the opinion not only of psychoanalysts but of the most eminent neurologists and students of human conduct the world over that Dr. Stekel's great studies analyze the instincts and emotions, particularly of sex, more thoroughly and with greater simplicity and insight than any other work that has ever been written. His work on disorders of the instincts and the emotions brings to the attention of the English reading public the most important work of its kind that has appeared since Kraft-Ebing's Psychopathia-Sexualia and Havelock Ellis' important series, Studies in the Psychology of Sex, and the works of Freud, Moll and Bloch. >> Indents to front cover..
