Abstract: '...Since Freudian theory has been discredited, shown to be largely without empirical basis, what is to stop the whole psychotherapeutic edifice from collapsing into the quicksands on which it is built? In...an immensely readable and entertaining overview in three volumes...Stevens describes how the major schools of psychodynamic theory grew out of the psychology of their charismatic founders and have subsequently turned into exclusive and mutually hostiile rival "sects". Stevens argues that the best hope for the future lies in research to determine the positive therapeutic ingredients that all methods have in common. This...could lead to the ado0tion of a new paradigm capable of transcending the differences between them--the paradigm adopted by the new breed of "evolutionary psychotherapists".'
