Truth and Reality
Anticipating one of the central findings of post-Freudian psychiatry, he argues that "truth" is irrelevant to the work of therapy. He contrasts the negative externalization of will, which leads to denial and guilt, with the creative power of will, tracing this conflict in both the individual and the history of human society.

Brilliant insights into human nature!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As with all of my experiences with Rank, my eyes were opened by reading this book. In it, he discusses the nature, and paradoxes, of a multitude of human experiences. He also provides a compassionate critique of many of the then popular perspectives (i.e., Freudian). While I don't feel it's my place to summarize the book in it's entirety (that's what reading it is for), it certainly was worth the read and has earned a permanent place on my bookshelf!
