Thirty papers by Thomas French, some almost forty years old, others never before published, and almost all of them introduced with a currently written brief summary by French himself, are presented in this recently issued volume.

Thomas French has been associated with the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis throughout his psychoanalytic career. His collaboration with Franz Alexander at the same institution is well known. Their book, Psychoanalytic Therapy, written in conjunction with some of their colleagues at the Chicago Institute, evoked much controversy both in this country and abroad, and stimulated both Alexander and French to undertake further studies of the therapeutic process. French and Alexander were also active collaborators
