The Power Tactics of Jesus Christ and Other Essays

In this classic volume available now once again, Jay Haley in the controversial title article proposes an original interpretation of the Bible analyzing Jesus''s actions as a man trying to build a mass movement to topple a power structure. Using wit and wry humour, Haley in the other essays discusses such topics as: what it takes to be schizophrenic; the art and technique required to have an awful marriage; and how to be an awful therapist. His rationale for a directive therapy is the subject of other essays.
