From Freudian slips to ink blots on paper to Prozac, the history of American psychoanalysis is as storied as the individuals who have received its tailored treatment. In his new book, "American Therapy: The Rise of Psychotherapy in the United States," author Jonathan Engel says about 50 percent of Americans will receive treatment at some point in their life. It's in the sheer numbers of those driven to the therapist's chair that we see the significance of psychoanalysis and it's journey. Larry Mantle speaks with Engel about his book and what has made the study of our minds and emotions so important.
