...Franz Alexander, long the leading trainer of analysts in Chicago, and now working in Los Angeles' Institute for Psychoanalytic Medicine, thus noted a continuing change in the beliefs and practices of U.S. analysts. The original Freudian concept of analysis as largely one-way talk based on "free association" and re counting of dreams, for a 50-minute hour, four or five days a week, for two to five years, is going out of style...
Adapt or Die. To Dr. Alexander, a "progressive Freudian" always ready to consider changes in method regardless of whether he or other analysts thought of them first, the important developments now in progress...
...tribe at once polygamous and polyandrous. Among the wholly amoral cast of characters: Martin Lynch-Gibbon, an elegant but asthmatic London wine merchant, who is also the novel's narrator; his blonde wife Antonia; his black-haired mistress, Georgie; their joint analyst, Anderson Palmer, a smooth, prosperous Freudian who, despite a "big white American smile," is also something of a warlock and misleads both women from couch to bed; Palmer's sister, Dr. Honor Klein, a notable witch and anthropologist given to fingering a samurai sword while talking of herself as a severed head (see Freud on Medusa...

In the diabolically clever guise of a self-help manual, The S-Man aims a good Swiftian kick at the cult and cultists of success. A British export, the book lacks the clubby good humor of Parkinson and Potter, substitutes instead the wittily barbed aphorisms of the success man's ascent ("New friends are best friends"). Cocktail party Platos will find a host of new S-Man concepts, including the Inhibition Barrier...
