"This work, a second edition of which has very kindly been requested, was followed by La Construction du rěl chez l'enfant and was to have been completed by a study of the genesis of imitation in the child. The latter piece of research, whose publication we have postponed because it is so closely connected with the analysis of play and representational symbolism, appeared in 1945, inserted in a third work, La formation du symbole chez l'enfant. Together these three works form one entity dedicated to the beginnings of intelligence, that is to say, to the various manifestations of sensorimotor intelligence and to the most elementary forms of expression. The theses developed in this volume, which concern in particular the formation of the sensorimotor schemata and the mechanism of mental assimilation, have given rise to much discussion which pleases us and prompts us to thank both our opponents and our sympathizers for their kind interest in our work"--Foreword.

The present Personality Monograph unites quantitative investigations on therapeutic criteria and therapeutic successes. One criterion of successful psychotherapy is the patient's increased ability to recover from frustrations; another a decrease of self-deception and social maladjustment, producing the patient's defensiveness. Another criterion is the change in the patient's attitude toward himself, in his locus-of-evaluation of himself and of his dependence on the judgments of others. Again, another criterion is the patient's ability to break out of the vicious circle of domination that incites domination in others. For each of these criteria we need "tailored tests" which give evidence of specific changes of personality, and, therefore, of successes in psychotherapy. According to some investigators, the Rorschach test is a reliable instrument to indicate specific personality changes and therapeutic successes such as the patient's adjustment to emotional problems, his intellectual functioning, his personality integration. According to others, however, such Rorschach indicators seem to be controversial. The present contributions indicate that psychotherapeutic effects can be evaluated quantitatively; they invite further research in this direction in order to answer the crucial question of psychotherapy: Success--what is it--how is it come by?

"When the subject "The Place and Scope of Psychotherapy" was suggested to me as the topic for the 1951 Salmon Lectures, I accepted the assignment with humility. Rather than elucidate psychotherapy in all its intricate forms, it occurred to me that it would have pleased my friend and teacher, Dr. Salmon, if I reviewed from the historical and humanitarian viewpoint some of the advancements and digressions I have personally witnessed during my fifty years in psychiatry. Therefore, this volume is not a detailed or erudite account of psychotherapy, but rather a brief historical review of the psychiatric scene in the last half century. I have endeavored to bring to the forefront the fact that in the earlier years we had not delved sufficiently below the surface of the human mind. Dynamic psychiatry has taught us to understand and evaluate the unconscious. This knowledge of the hidden depths of human behavior has led us to the development of more effective psychotherapeutic treatments"--Foreword.
