Description

More than 50 years after his death in 1939, controversy still rages over Sigmund Freud's life and work. His early work with hysterics, his formulation of the subconscious, and his theories of human sexuality shocked his contemporaries in Vienna and gave the world a new way to explore the mind. Here, in clear and direct language, is the story of Freud's fascinating life, tracing his methods, his goals, and the development of his theories. From his early studies of neural structures to his later work as a philosopher of human civilization, this fast-paced, new biography shows the evolution of Freud's ideas, while offering keen insights into the life and mind of the man whose radical ideas have shaped the debate on the human mind for more than a century.
