Hi Christopher,                   I would appreciate a pdf copy of the article.   Thanks a lot.   Jean-Marc         From: Christopher D. Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 12:58 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] History of "psychotherapy" article   I just ran across this interesting article on the history of the term "psychotherapy." History of the Human Sciences is a European journal which can sometimes be a little difficult for Americans to come by. If you do not have it in your local library, but would like a copy, I would be willing to send you the .pdf off-list. Shamdasani, Sonu. (2005). ‘Psychotherapy’: the invention of a word. History of the Human Sciences, 1, 1-22. Abstract This paper traces the manner in which the word ‘psychotherapy’ was invented and how it became taken up and disseminated in the English-, French- and German-speaking medical worlds at the end of the 19th century. It explores how it was used as an appellation for a variety of practices, and then increasingly became perceived as a distinct entity in its own right. Finally it shows how the fate of the word ‘psychotherapy’ enables Freud’s invention of ‘psychoanalysis’ to be located.   Regards, -- Christopher D.
