Description

The Making of a Psychoanalyst Becoming Freud is a strikingly original biography of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. This book tells the story of Freud's early life, from his childhood as the oldest son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, to his development as a psychoanalyst. Adam Phillips, a leading authority on Freud, draws on a wide range of sources, including Freud's own writings and the work of historians of the Jews in Europe, to create a nuanced and deeply human portrait of Freud's life. As Phillips explores Freud's early years, he reveals the ways in which psychoanalysis was shaped by the experiences of Jewish immigrants in Europe, and how Freud's own life was influenced by the fate of the Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The result is a biography that is both a deeply personal exploration of Freud's life, and a broader examination of the cultural and historical context in which he lived. By examining Freud's life and work, Phillips offers a unique insight into the development of psychoanalysis, and the ways in which it continues to shape our understanding of the human psyche.
