From the Inside Flap

This book offers the most lucid overview available of Sigmund Freud, his legacy, and his place in our world. As the person responsible for the birth of psychoanalysis and one of the sharpest clinical minds of the 20th century, Freud continues to be one of the most influential thinkers of our time and one of the most controversial. For those interested in understanding the life and work of this seminal figure as well as the current debates that surround him, this book will prove an invaluable guide.

Reviews

"Stafford presents a thematic development of Freud's essential ideas written in a logical and lively manner that combines theory with images from Freud's own writings.... This is an authoritative, excellent presentation of a complex area for the general reader and is highly recommended" (LJ 4/15/67).
