Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was a clinical neurologist living and practicing in Vienna. His ground breaking theories of the id, ego, and super-ego of the mind continue to be studied throughout the world.
"At the turn of the last century, Freud produced the Three Essays
and The Interpretation of Dreams, the two pillars upon which the
whole of his psychoanalysis sits like a lintel. Of the two, it is
the Three Essays, with its outline of 'the libido theory, ' that
has again and again attracted controversy and spurred the later
development of psychoanalysis."
--Elisabeth Young-Bruehl
"Publishing the Three Essays in a new accessible edition is
exciting in and of itself; the commentaries by Marcus and Chodorow
make it an historic volume. It is fitting to have a contemporary
thinker such as Chodorow help the next generation understand its
monumental contributions."
--Steven J. Ellman
