title: Freud's Reich, the psychiatric establishment, and the founding of the American Psychoanalytic Association: professional styles in conflict.
abstract: Freud's vision of a unified theory of the neuroses has foundered on lack of agreed methods for settling scientific disputes in the field of psychotherapy. Clashes in professional styles and formation of self-validating sub groups have been the dominant trend, exemplified by the founding of psychoanalytic organizations.
