Synopsis

A thoughtful look at Soviet psychotherapy in the 1950s, exploring how suggestion, hypnosis, and speech therapy shape treatment. This collection assembles papers from a Moscow conference, offering practical approaches and case studies that illuminate how clinicians navigate neuroses, addictions, and somatic ailments with a distinctly Russian perspective.


The book foregrounds ongoing collaborations between psychology and physiology, rooted in Pavlovian ideas and materialist philosophy. It discusses the practical use of psychotherapeutic methods, the limits of certain techniques, and how therapy fits into broader medical practice. Readers will find both theoretical context and concrete examples that illuminate everyday clinical work.



  • How hypnosis, suggestion, and speech-focused therapies are applied across multiple conditions.

  • Case studies on stuttering, psychoses, and neurotic disorders illustrating step-by-step therapeutic processes.

  • Discussions of group psychotherapy, pediatric speech work, and the role of the therapist as a human facilitator.

  • Comparisons of Russian and American psychiatric perspectives to inform clinical practice.


Ideal for students and professionals in psychiatry, psychology, and medical humanities who want a window into mid?century Soviet therapeutic approaches.
