Killing Freud - 20th Century Culture and the Death of Psychoanalysis (Paperback)

Killing Freud takes the reader on a journey through the 20th century, tracing the work and influence of one of itsgreatest icons, Sigmund Freud. A devastating critique, the book ranges across the strange case of Anna O, the hysteriaof Josef Breuer, the love of dogs, the Freud industry, the role of gossip and fiction, bad manners, pop psychology andFrench philosophy, figure skating on thin ice, and contemporary therapy culture.

It will appeal to anyone curious about the life of the mind after the death ofFreud."Its erudition offers sure-fire caviar." --The Independent, U.K."A flamboyant and hilarious satire of one of our most revered cultural institutions, Killing Freud combines impeccableand truly original scholarship with great wit." --Ikkel Borch-Jacobsen, author of The Freudian Subject andRemembering Anna O>
