Winner of the 2010 Sigourney Award! Reading Freud provides an
accessible outline of the whole of Freud's work from Studies in
Hysteria through to An Outline of Psycho-Analysis. It succeeds in
expressing even the most complex of Freud's theories in clear and
simple language whilst avoiding over-simplification. Each chapter
concentrates on an individual text and includes valuable background
information, relevant biographical and historical details,
descriptions of Post-Freudian developments and a chronology of
Freud's concepts. By putting each text into the context of Freud's
life and work as a whole, Jean-Michel Quinodoz manages to produce
an overview which is chronological, correlative and interactive.
Texts discussed include: The Interpretation of Dreams The 'Uncanny'
Civilisation and its Discontents' The clear presentation, with
regular summaries of the ideas raised, encourages the reader to
fully engage with the texts presented and gain a thorough
understanding of each text in the context of its background and
impact on the development of psychoanalysis. Drawing on his
extensive experience as a clinician and a teacher of
psychoanalysis, Jean-Michel Quinodoz has produced a uniquely
comprehensive presentation of Freud's work which will be of great
value to anyone studying Freud and Psychoanalysis.
