Included is more information on the history of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in Nazi Germany, on the social history of the Third Reich, and on the history of the professions in Germany. Three new chapters analyze postwar developments and conflicts as well as broader issues of continuity and discontinuity in the history of modern Germany and the West. In addition, the author has reorganized the volume along chronological and narrative lines for greater ease of reading. Psychotherapy in the Third Reich is an important work for psychotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, sociologists, and historians. "It is a delight to have Geoffrey Cocks' Psychotherapy in the Third Reich in an updated edition with current materials and three new chapters. Cocks' brilliant work of scholarship won wide acclaim both in Germany and in the U.S. for its bold re~delineation of the story of psychotherapy in Nazi Germany. It is wonderful to have this important book, which is a must for all psychotherapists and social scientists sensitive to issues of ethics and politics, at last available in paperback."~Peter Loewenberg, professor of history, UCLA. "Psychotherapy in the Third Reich is a fine piece of historical scholarship. [Cocks] has presented the reader with a substantial and significant piece of history, His account of the Göring Institute provides a fascinating case study of the tangle of ideological conviction, personal and institutional self~interest, fiefdoms and patronage, greed and fear that~in the absence of clearly defined and securely established institutional structures~defined life in Nazi Germany."~Thomas A. Kohut, Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III Professor of History, Williams College, Books<
