Haynal begins with a chapter on Ferenczi’s work before he met Freud and then moves on to discuss what might have been meant by the concept of "healing through love." The personal and professional intimacy between Freud and Ferenczi was so entangled, lasting over so many years, that it has proven impossible to consign Ferenczi to the bin of those who are so-called psychoanalytic troublemakers. Although at times Ferenczi could participate in behalf of Freud’s most sectarian purposes, Ferenczi’s humaneness led him by the end of his life to try fresh approaches to psychotherapeutic practice that went beyond what Freud, in his old age, was willing to entertain.
