The century during which psychoanalysis developed was a creative
interval of transition, when hysterical and ritualistic object
relations permitted the great Freudian truths to be articulated.
For about thirty years, from the theory of dreams and sexuality to
the discovery of narcissistic transference, psychoanalysts enjoyed
a realistic experience of synthesis. But, according to Harold
Feldman, the science of personality, given such a profound impetus
by Freud and his colleagues almost a hundred years ago, has receded
and faded. "The XYZ of PsychoanalysiS" is a unique examination of
the future of psychoanalysis, based on its Freudian past. Although
the author was a passionate Freudian, he writes simply and without
relying on ideology. He proposes that we understand psychoanalysis
as an organic link in the history of Freudian thought. His view of
the historical context of psychoanalysis, his examination of the
dominant occupational hazard (psychopathy of the practitioner), and
his understanding of and ability to articulate the fundamentals of
the science of the mind move his work beyond the scope of any other
treatise on the subject.
"The XYZ of PsychoanalysiS" is particularly relevant to the
psychotherapeutic practitioner who would otherwise be forced to
sift through the literature to gain such a broad understanding of
the great century of psychoanalysis. It also addresses fundamental
issues of interest to a wide-ranging audience of historians,
sociologists, students of literature, and political
philosophers.
