Through an exacting yet accessible reconstruction of eleven of
Freud's essential theoretical writings, Susan Sugarman demonstrates
that the traditionally received Freud is the diametric opposite of
the one evident in the pages of his own works. Whereas Freud's
theory of the mind is typically conceived as a catalogue of
uninflected concepts and crude reductionism - for instance that we
are nothing but our infantile origins or sexual and aggressive
instincts - it emerges here as an organic whole built from first
principles and developing in sophistication over time. Sugarman's
exciting interpretation, tracking Freud's texts in the order in
which he wrote them, grounds his claims in the reasoning that led
to them and reveals their real intent. This fresh reading will
appeal to specialists and students across a variety of disciplines.
