"Following on from his two earlier titles, Peter Rudnytsky takes a fresh look at the history of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical ideas. Beginning with Freud, this book contains a series of essays that chart a roughly chronological progression through Ferenczi and Stekel, then to Winnicott, and to Winnicott's younger colleagues in the Independent group, Coltart and Little. Written by a distinguished professor and psychoanalyst, this book reflects the author's deep understanding of this subject." (Publisher).

PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHOANALYSIS

About this title

Synopsis

In his latest groundbreaking book, the author examines the history of psychoanalysis from a resolutely independent perspective. At once spellbinding case histories and meticulously crafted gems of scholarship, Rudnytsky's essays are "re-visions" in that each sheds fresh light on its subject but they are also avowedly "revisionist" in their scepticism towards all forms of psychoanalytic orthodoxy. Beginning with a judicious reappraisal of Freud and ranging in scope from King Lear to contemporary neuroscience, the author treats in depth the lives and work of Ferenczi, Jung, Stekel, Winnicott, Coltart, and Little, each of whom sought to "rescue psychoanalysis" by summoning it to live up to its highest ideals.
