Description
The Freudians A Comparative Perspective by Edith Kurzweil explores how psychoanalysis has evolved in different countries. Kurzweil examines the unique influences that have shaped psychoanalytic thought in Austria, England, France, Germany, and the United States. She reveals how national traditions, interests, beliefs, and institutions have contributed to the development of distinct psychoanalytic approaches in each country. For example, German psychoanalysts took Austrian humanism and made it "scientific", while British analysts developed object relations. French psychoanalysts emphasized linguistics and structuralism, developing a fascination with text, language, subtext, and plot structures. In her new introduction, Kurzweil reexamines her original argument that countries develop their own psychoanalysis according to their needs, providing evidence to support her theories and discussing what led her to write this book.
