Reviews for Freud, Biologist of the Mind: Beyond the Psychoanalytic Legend: Beyond the Psychoanalytic Legend, With a New Preface by the Author
Fascinating… A thought-provoking tour through this extraordinary chapter in the history of ideas.
Jean Strouse
Newsweek
A work of prodigious scholarship in its own right. It establishes a new level of empirical precision and critical skill in the analysis of Freud’s life.
Peter Brooks
New York Times Book Review
Extraordinarily exciting and enlightening… A truly comprehensive intellectual biography of Freud and the analytic movement, which embodies the scholarship so sorely lacking in previous endeavors… The result here is an informative, authoritative, and comprehensive work, brimming with all sorts of revelations and new versions of old tales about Freud’s…predecessors and contemporaries. One’s view of Freud and the origins of psychoanalysis will never be quite the same after reading this book.
