Description
George Makari's Revolution in Mind explores how Freudian Theory emerged as a cohesive body of ideas and gained widespread acceptance. Set against the backdrop of late-nineteenth-century European science, philosophy, and medicine, this book examines the key figures who contributed to its development.
The author delves into the early psychological work of Sigmund Freud, tracing his intellectual journey and how it intersected with other disciplines. Makari then follows the growth of psychoanalysis in the years leading up to 1914, highlighting the diverse range of followers and their varying interpretations of Freud's ideas.
The book also examines the critical period of Weimar Germany, where an attempt was made to rebuild a more inclusive psychoanalytic community. This reformation led to a broader theoretical reach for psychoanalysis and its increased acceptance across Western societies, ultimately paving the way for its global influence.
