"The Diary" is the work of a sane mind in full possession of its
powers and gives us insight into the day-to-day thoughts of a
practitioner whose status as a creative innovator is probably
unsurpassed since Freud. It is a very moving book. One is
continually amazed by the courage of the man.--Peter Lomas "Times
Literary Supplement "
Allows the public to assess, far better than before, the range of
[Ferenczi's] professional gifts and the depth of his psychological
vulnerability...A welcome addition to the growing number of
significant texts illuminating the history of

Compelling...Ferenczi was an innovator, an experimenter, someone
who was always trying new approaches to the treatment of mental
illness, even when his unorthodox techniques placed him in
opposition to his analyst and mentor, Sigmund Freud.--Stuart

doubting, and quite possibly, healing.--David Flusfeder "The Week
"
