The author gives students of the Interpersonal approach (to psychoanalysis) an understanding of how Interpersonal psychoanalysis came to be and how its tenets evolved from the particular histories of the early Interpersonalists, histories that were shaped by the cultures of the countries these analysts came from, by world events, and by individual family backgrounds. He (argues that) the understanding of Interpersonal theory and technique is enlivened and enriched by some acquaintance with the varied personal and professional experiences of those analysts who are generally considered the pioneers of the Interpersonal tradition in psychoanalysis: Harry Stack Sullivan (1892-1949), Sandor Ferenczi (1873-1933), Clara Thompson (1893-1958), Erich FROMM (1900-1980), Frieda FROMM-Reichmann (1889-1957), Karen Horney (1885-1952).
