Will Therapy is the full statement of Otto Rank's mature theories and techniques. In it Rank analyzes the movement that-takes place when the therapist recognizes and constructively uses the potential strength of the patient, however disguised as resistance. He discusses the handling of the therapeutic situation as a present experience, the setting of a time limit in advance, and the therapeutic u." of the birth-trauma theory. How the
therapist makes possible the constructive use of the will is central, the key to Rank's critique of Freudian psychoanalysis and to his unique contribution to modern psychology.
