Description
"As both an early disciple of and influence on Freud, Wilhelm Stekel comparisons and contrasts abound with Adler, Jung, and other, revered exiles from Freudian circles. enjoyed a unique position within the analytic movement. More recently, he has been notable more for his ostracism from Freud's sphere and little else. The Self-Marginalization of Wilhelm Stekel brings a fresh perspective on Stekel, revealing the complex, symbiotic bond between mentor and follower in its many social, interpersonal, and psychological forms. In addition to shedding light on a famous outsider, this biography is set in a dual context of the formative years of psychoanalysis and Freud's relationships with his colleagues... This book would be a wonderful gift for your favorite psychoanalyst. It covers ground that is not well known and provides illumination of the relationship between Freud and Stekel in the early days of psychoanalysis. It shows how Stekel dealt with his dismissal from the inner circle, resulting in marginalization, and how both Freud and Stekel still benefited from this divide. The authors do a terrific job revealing this dynamic. Readers will not be disappointed." - Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Doody's Reviews
