The book was also published under the title, Anatomy of Love.
A quartet of case histories of four imagined women, Sybil, Judith, Daphne, Dora, who may have the personalities of modern-day witches, for which the author states in the book, "I have divided my material into four categories and illustrated each category with one synthesized woman who is all these patients and yet no specific one of them."
The New York Times, "Most interesting reading. Not, however, entirely convincing reading."
Commentary, "A mockery of the entire psychoanalytic movement."
Kirkus Reviews, "One may question the advisability of presenting clinical material in a popular form; the title in any case may help to alienate an audience."
