The Psychoanalysis of Symptoms

The prevailing scientific view in the field of psychotherapy is, that with respect to psychological symptoms, each symptom (phobias, anxiety states, panic reactions, intrusive thoughts, obsessions, compulsions, etc.), represents a separate lock that the therapist must decode. In this book, Dr. Henry Kellerman presents a set of principles (psychological/psychoanalytic axioms) which underpin the curing of psychological/emotional symptoms through the use of four terms that comprise a psychological equation. Each of these terms is spelled-out, and then throughout the book, specific symptoms are identified, and in a step-by-step display, the reader can follow the cure of the symptom through the use of this new discovery - this new psychoanalytic key (the four terms of the symptom-cure).
