Freudianism, behaviour therapy and “self-disclosure”

The Editors of this Journal have graciously invited me to write “a comparative revaluation of the works of Wolpe and of Dollard and Miller on the subject of psychotherapy”. I am happy to accept this assignment but wish to extend it by also placing these works in juxtaposition to another, very different approach and point of view which I believe involves a much more realistic conception of neurosis and holds far greater promise of effective treatment and prevention.
