To study the impact of the current external barrage on man's nervous and mental functioning, neurology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis, along with the entire spectrum of the behavioral sciences, must collaborate and each contribute its own unique approach. The author describes the relationship between psychoanalysis and many of the therapeutic "advances" appearing periodically that extract a piece of psychoanalytic theory or technique and make it into a "new" and whole explanatory system.
