Jean-Michel Quinodoz introduces the essential life and work of
Sigmund Freud, from the beginning of his clinical experiences in
Vienna in the 1880s to his final years in London in the 1930s.
Freud's discoveries, including universally-influential concepts
like the Oedipus complex and the interpretation of dreams, continue
to be applied in many disciplines today. Elegantly and clearly
written, each chapter leaves the reader with a solid framework for
understanding key Freudian concepts, and an appetite for further
knowledge. Accessible for readers inside and outside the field of
psychoanalysis, there is nothing at all equivalent in English. The
book starts with Freud's life before the discovery of
psychoanalysis, spanning from 1856 to 1900, when The Interpretation
of Dreams was published. The subsequent chapters are devoted to the
presentation of the key notions of psychoanalysis. A chronological
perspective shows how Freud's work has been constantly enriched by
the successive contributions of Freud himself, as well as his
successors. Freud's contributions are also embedded in the daily,
clinical practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The last
chapter concerns Freud's life from 1900 to 1939, the year of his
death. This fascinating, concise and accessible introduction to the
life and work of Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential and
revolutionary figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, by
internationally-renowned author Jean-Michel Quinodoz, will appeal
to both professional readers and anyone with an interest in
psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and the history of ideas.. The book
presents the major contributions of Sigmund Freud in their nascent
state, as and when they appeared, and shows that they are as alive
today as ever.
