Summary "In this book, Dr. Brody presents his interpretation of direct analysis and observations of its use by Dr. John N. Rosen. Brody's work constitutes a turning point in the presentation of this subject: for the first time in the fifteen years since direct analysis came upon the psychiatric scene, a scientific study has been undertaken by an impartial, trained observer willing to devote himself conscientiously to his task. With these thoughts in mind, we at Temple University have been laying the groundwork for a more mature and objective approach to the problems of psychotherapy which Freud's work opened up. Under the terms of a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers' Fund, which established the Institute for Direct Analysis at Temple University Medical Center, we have developed a research program which has among its other goals the definition of direct analysis. Initially, a group of psychiatric specialists, and specialists from such allied fields as anthropology, kinesics, and psychology, were invited to observe direct analytic treatment of psychotics and to pool their individual impressions. The leadership of this seminar group was to rotate among the membership; the first leader, selected by Dr. O. Spurgeon English, head of the Department of Psychiatry at Temple, was Morris Brody. Dr. Brody brought to his task of conducting weekly three-hour seminars on direct analysis for approximately a year and a half, a solid psychoanalytic training and many years of experience as a training analyst. As a final comment on Dr. Brody's qualifications for writing this evaluation, I will say that I was very much impressed, during the seminar meetings, by his unique genius for separating the wheat from the chaff, for summing up, and, finally, for constructing a frame of reference from which he could understand this form of psychotherapy and describe it as he has now done in this book. It is heartening to me, as the individual seminar members prepare to publish their findings, that this first book is one of such high calibre"--Foreword (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).
