Summary

"Psychotherapy" by Hugo Münsterberg is a book that explores how psychology and medicine connect, showing how psychological ideas can be used in therapies. Münsterberg wants to fix misunderstandings about psychotherapy and explains why science is important in this area. He talks about how psychological influence has two sides: one about goals and the other about science. He says doctors should use psychology to understand health and sickness, while others can give moral support. The author wants psychology to be studied more in medical school, so doctors can treat many different health problems better, and he shares how helpful psychology can be in treating people with various illnesses.
