Omschrijving
An engaging and accessible biography of Sigmund Freud.
'I am an admirer of Matt fyttche’s work – he is an excellent historian who has contributed a great deal to the understanding of the origins and development of psychoanalysis. This book is characteristically accurate and reliable and so will be useful for readers wanting to get a broad understanding of Freud’s ideas and some sense of what they might continue to offer to contemporary thought.' – Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Birkbeck, University of London
