Psychoanalysis started in the clinical field. Freud and Breuer made some strides in the treatment of hysteria using hypnosis. In this book, the author covers the difference between a modified theory of catharsis and a theory of psychoanalysis, as well as the importance of psychodynamic diagnosis in the practice of psychoanalysis.
