Title: Pharmacotherapy Vs. Psychotherapy: An Educational Challenge in Current Psychiatric Training
Abstract: “Psychotherapy,” wrote Freud, in his 1905 paper of that name, “is in no way a modern method of treatment. On the contrary, it is the most ancient form of therapy in medicine.” He went on to explain that there is an old saying that certain diseases are cured not by medication, but by the “mentalinfluence” of the “personality of the physician.”
