Otto Rank and the Creation of Modern Psychotherapy
Once considered Sigmund Freud's designated heir, Otto Rank was an interdisciplinary thinker and prodigious author of twenty-two books. After being expelled from Freud's inner circle in 1926--due to Freud's opposition to the pre-Oedipal thesis of The Trauma of Birth (1924)--Rank had a highly productive life as a teacher, psychotherapist, and writer. In this book, noted Rank scholar Robert Kramer argues that Rank, not Freud, created modern psychotherapy, which focuses on the therapist-client relationship. Rank's "will therapy" and his teaching on relationship and the creative will impacted not only modern psychotherapy but also social work and existential psychology. His influence can particularly be seen in the work of Carl Rogers (Psychotherapy), Jessie Taft and Virginia Robinson (Social Work), and Rollo May and Irvin Yalom (Existential Psychology). A dazzling thinker, Rank influenced many artists and writers, including Samuel Beckett, Salvador Dal穩, Ana簿s Nin, Henry Miller, Betty Friedan, D. W. Winnicott, and, most significantly, Ernest Becker, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Denial of Death (1973). Kramer argues that if the 20th century was the century of Freud, the 21st century is shaping up to be the century of Rank as no other psychoanalyst's theories have ever been tested with as much empirical rigor, and across so many different cultures, as those of Rank. This book translates Rank's complex thought into language any reader can grasp easily.

Is the Primal Dream Over? An Insider Investigates Janov's Primal Therapy and Asks What the Psychotherapy Profession Should Learn from It
Colin Feltham, now an Emeritus Professor of Counseling in the UK, was a patient in Arthur Janov's primal therapy in 1978 to 1979. Lured by the hyperbolic promises in The Primal Scream (1970), touted as the (only) cure for neurosis, he went to Los Angeles for the 'real thing', since Janov warned against so-called mock primal therapists. Like many others, he was sorely disappointed by this expensive therapy. Applying scholarly analysis, investigative zeal, self-disclosure, and some humor, Feltham pores over Janov's claims critically in this important book. Did primal patients really recall vivid emotional traumas from early childhood, birth and womb-life? How did Janov develop his therapy from 1967 until his death in 2017? Did confabulation play a large and unrecognised role in Janov's construction of primal therapy? What attracted so many big names like John Lennon to Janov's Primal Institute in West Hollywood? What explains the discrediting and near-obsolescence of primal therapy today? Professor Feltham doesn't stop there but asks if the denigration of primal therapy masks the failures of many other, more sober and even 'evidence-based' forms of modern psychotherapy. Readers interested in psychotherapy generally and some of its cult-like qualities will find this book fascinating.
