Description

Sigmund Freud's life and work continue to appeal to readers. Joel Whitebook presents a radically new biography that explores the man behind psychoanalysis, cutting through stereotypes to reveal his complex personality and the development of his theories in context. The author examines Freud's personal life alongside societal and cultural developments, shedding light on the impact of his ideas on subsequent issues in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and social theory. This fresh perspective demonstrates that Freud's influence is far from obsolete. With a clear and engaging style, Whitebook brings this vivid figure to life, making him accessible to readers seeking a nuanced understanding of one of history's most influential thinkers.
