Reading Freud: A chronological exploration of Freud's writings (New Library of Psychoanalysis)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Reading Freud provides an accessible outline of the whole of Freud's work from Studies in Hysteria through to An Outline of Psycho-Analysis. It succeeds in expressing even the most complex of Freud's theories in clear and simple language whilst avoiding over-simplification.
Each chapter concentrates on an individual text and includes valuable background information, relevant biographical and historical details, descriptions of Post-Freudian developments and a chronology of Freud's concepts. By putting each text into the context of Freud's life and work as a whole, Jean-Michel Quinodoz manages to produce an overview which is chronological, correlative and interactive. Texts discussed include:
· The Interpretation of Dreams
· The 'Uncanny'
· Civilisation and its Discontents
This uniquely comprehensive presentation of Freud's work will be of great value to anyone studying Freud and Psychoanalysis.
