Fascinating… A thought-provoking tour through this extraordinary
chapter in the history of ideas.
*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.
*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.
