The late Dr. Novey impresses the reader of this book as a warm, technically competent psychotherapist whose aim was to make himself, his patients, and the treatment transaction intelligible. He turned to the discipline of history for a perspective on these questions. To see the obvious parallel between the taking of a case history for therapeutic purposes, and the doing of historiography is a flash of brilliance, and the biases, theories, and hopes of psychotherapist and historian alike have ample opportunity to shape the history that is written. One cannot help but wish that professional historians took as great pains to become aware of their biased perspectives as do the psychoanalysts. The first four chapters of this little book are devoted to a consideration of the function, philosophy, and meaning of history, whether of a society or a patient, with a further exploration of the relevance of validating historical events as reported by patients.
