The Lourdes of Psychotherapy

The 1985 Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference was called the "Woodstock of Psychotherapy. " Writer Carlos Amantea penetrated every corner of the first Conference, talking with the psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors who attended, and writing down everything he saw — from the ambience of the huge Phoenix Convention Center, to the tiniest feeling of angst that he (and many of the other participants) felt.

Those who have read The Lourdes of Psychotherapy agree that it is some of the best reporting extant — not only on a single meeting in Phoenix, but also on the psychotherapeutic ideas, conflicts, change and upheavals of the 1980s.

This special book has been reissued in celebration of psychotherapy's 120th birthday and the Evolution of Psychotherapy 2005. A limited edition, each book is individually numbered.
