Freud’s views continue to infl uence contemporary practice. Many of his basic
concepts are still part of the foundation on which other theorists build and develop.

book have been infl uenced by psychoanalytic principles and techniques. Some of
these therapeutic approaches extended the psychoanalytic model, others modifi ed
its concepts and procedures, and others emerged as a reaction against it.
