'...this fascinating study... (by)...the first-rate Cohen. 4 out of 5 Stars' The Mail on Sunday. '...makes for compulsive reading...you could say it is addictive.' The Jewish Chronicle. 'Convincingly arguing that Freud's drug-taking had profound implications for the development of his theories, Cohen places him in the context of other influential figures whose drug use and work were intertwined, making Freud on Coke a welcome addition to the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in altered states.' Metro. 'a merry romp through recreational and medicinal hard drug use by the educated classes before the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1920... But Cohen does make us stop and think, and Sigmund Freud would have applauded that.' The Scotsman.
