Easily the most important and widely read early book on medical psychotherapy published in America. "One of the most systematic of the attempts to treat neurotic disorders [rationally] was the persuasion therapy of Paul Charles Dubois, who was professor of neuropathology at Bern. Dubois had been strongly influenced by Heinroth and believed that most mental disturbances have psychological causes. He emphasized that psychological functions have a physiological substratum: psychological function is 'a special function of the brain' that cannot be described in physiological terms but can be influenced by psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, to be effective, should be rational: the physician's task was to convince the patient that his neurotic feelings, thoughts, and behavior were irrational. Dubois' method was another form of Pinel's moral treatment and amounted to reeducation according to reason and accepted moral principles" [Alexander & Selesnick's History of Psychiatry, pp. 174-175].

Frink interned at Bellevue from 1906 to 1908 after receiving his MD from Cornell in 1905. In 1909 he became an assistant in the outpatient neurological clinic at Cornell, where he began treating neuroses with hypnosis and psychoanalysis. In 1914 he was appointed assistant professor of neurology at Cornell and began teaching psychoanalysis to medical students. After World War I Frink traveled to Vienna to study with Freud, who analyzed him twice, in 1921 and again in 1922. In August 1923 he gave up practice due to mental illness and put himself in the care of Adolf Meyer at Johns Hopkins Hospital. From December 1924 through April 1925 he was Frederick Packard's patient at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, at which time he was diagnosed as manic-depressive. He did not resume practice. In April 1936 he committed himself to the Pine Bluff Sanitarium in North Carolina after a psychotic incident and died a week later form a heart attack. Freud had held Frink in high esteem and hoped that he would lead the American psychoanalytic movement.
