Although many of the innovative contributions of Harry Stack Sullivan have been incorporated into contemporary psychotherapy practice, his ideas are rarely studied today by psychotherapists and social workers. Integrating his clinical experience with innovations in the social sciences, Sullivan challenged prevailing psychoanalytic theories that focused on libidinal drives and abstract entities such as the id, ego and superego. Instead, he highlighted how personality evolves from actual experiences with significant others and the larger social environment, a perspective that is compatible with social work theory and practice. Outlining major components of Sullivan's theoretical and clinical contributions, this article discusses how clinical social workers can operationalize these concepts toward the modest objective of simply 'helping' their clients develop mutually satisfying interpersonal relationships
