On the Couch, Gebunden

Klappentext

"Sigmund Freud is known as the father of psychoanalysis and champion of the "talking cure" who charted the human unconscious. He is also a polarizing figure, with many defenders and detractors. Some of the concepts associated with Freud include free association, transference, Oedipus complex, repression, the unconscious, and a model of psychic structure comprising id, ego, and super-ego. Andrew Blauner envisions this book as a fresh new assessment of Freud's relevance and resonance. Blauner puts "Freud on the couch, analyzing the great analyst, exploring who he was, why he did what he did," and his lasting impact on Western thought, culture, and society, both as a psychiatrist and as a writer. He has contributions from a diverse group of 25 writers with different views and perspectives"--
