"A vivid account of how Sigmund Freud coped with the great
'pandemics' of his time, from the Great War and Spanish Flu to
cancer and the Nazis. By assessing how my great-grandfather might
have addressed COVID-19 - the pandemic of our own times - Professor
Kahr opens up a series of insights into the life of the man who
championed the radical innovation of actually listening to people
suffering from mental affliction. Meticulously researched, and
written with real pace, this book is a timely reminder of the
psychological roots of our response to national trauma." - Lord
Freud, great-grandson of Sigmund Freud and President of the Freud
Museum London In this compelling book, the first in the new Freud
Museum London series, Professor Brett Kahr describes how Sigmund
Freud endured innumerable emotional pandemics during his
eighty-three years of life, ranging from unsubstantiated
accusations by medical colleagues to anti-Semitic abuse, the loss
of one daughter to Spanish flu and the arrest of another child by
the Gestapo, to his own painful cancer treatments and his final
flight from Adolf Hitler's Austria. Freud navigated these personal
and political tragedies while simultaneously creating a method of
healing which has helped countless millions deal with unbearable
trauma and distress. Through founding psychoanalysis, Kahr argues
that Freud not only saved himself from destruction but also
provided the rest of the world with the means to achieve a form of
psychological vaccination against emotional and mental distress.
The Freud Museum London and Karnac Books have joined forces to
publish a new book series devoted to an examination of the life and
work of Sigmund Freud alongside other significant figures in the
history of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and depth psychology more
broadly. The series will feature works of outstanding scholarship
and readability, including biographical studies, institutional
histories, and archival investigations. New editions of historical
classics as well as translations of little-known works from the
early history of psychoanalysis will also be considered for
inclusion.
