"Killing Freud" takes the reader on a journey through the 20th
century, tracing the work and influence of one of its greatest
icons, Sigmund Freud.
A devastating critique, "Killing Freud" ranges across the strange
case of Anna O, the hysteria of Josef Breuer, the love of dogs, the
Freud industry, the role of gossip and fiction, bad manners, pop
psychology and French philosophy, figure skating on thin ice, and
contemporary therapy culture. A map to the Freudian minefield and a
masterful negotiation of high theory and low culture, "Killing
Freud" is a witty and fearless revaluation of psychoanalysis and
its real place in 20th century history. It will appeal to anyone
curious about the life of the mind after the death of Freud.
