The Only Cure

The Only Cure brings together psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and clinical insight to argue that psychoanalytic therapy, once dismissed as unscientific, is increasingly recognized as one of the most effective forms of treatment for psychological suffering.

Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, Mark Solms demonstrates how modern neuroscience confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago, while also revealing where Freud's ideas may need revision.

The book makes a compelling case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as a master theory of the mind in contemporary mental health care.
