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.
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.
Quinodoz brings together views of eminent analysts to present a comprehensive approach to the experience of loneliness, anxiety about which commonly leads people to analysis and which stems from unresolved anxiety about separation.
Winner of the 2010 Sigourney Award! How has Hanna Segal influenced
psychoanalysis today? Jean-Michel Quinodoz provides the reader with
a comprehensive overview of Segal's life, her clinical and
theoretical work, and her contribution to psychoanalysis over the
past sixty years by combining actual biographical and conceptual
interviews with Hanna Segal herself or with colleagues who have
listened to Segal in various contexts. Listening to Hanna Segal
explores both Segal's personal and professional histories, and the
interaction between the two. The book opens with an
autobiographical account of Segal's life, from her birth in Poland
to her analysis with Melanie Klein in London where she became the
youngest member of the British Psychoanalytical Society. Quinodoz
goes on to explain Segal's contributions in various fields of
psychoanalysis including: the psychoanalytic treatment of psychotic
patients the introduction of the "symbolic equation" aesthetics and
the creative impulse the analysis of elderly patients introducing
the work of Melanie Klein. Quinodoz concludes by examining Segal's
most recent contribution to psychoanalysis - exploring nuclear
terror, psychotic anxieties, and group phenomena. Throughout the
interviews Segal speaks of her close relationships with prominent
colleagues such as Klein, Rosenfeld, and Bion, making this book
both a valuable contribution to the history of psychoanalysis and
an indication of the evolution of psychoanalytic ideas over the
past six decades. This clear summary of Hanna Segal's life and her
contribution to psychoanalysis will be an essential guide to anyone
studying Segal and her contemporaries.

Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their Correspondence and Context

Marcelle Spira between 1955 and 1960, as well as six rough drafts
from Spira. They were discovered in SpiraaEURO (TM)s library after

Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their Correspondence and Context
includes 45 letters Melanie Klein wrote to the Swiss psychoanalyst
Marcelle Spira between 1955 and 1960, as well as six rough drafts
from Spira. They were discovered in Spira's library after her death
in 2006. As only a few of the letters that Klein wrote to her
colleagues have been preserved, this moving, historically important
correspondence sheds new light upon the last five years of Klein's
creative life. The common theme of the letters is their discussion
of the French translation of The Psycho-Analysis of Children by
Boulanger in collaboration with Spira. The translation, first
undertaken by Lacan, went through many ups and downs until it was
published in 1959 by the Presses Universitaires de France. Klein
also discusses her current work, in particular Envy and Gratitude
(1957). She encourages her pioneering Swiss colleague Spira to be
patient in the face of the resistance shown towards Kleinian
thinking. Identifying herself to some extent with her younger
follower, Klein reveals a very touching autobiographical account of
the difficulties that she herself had encountered in her work and
how she overcame them. In Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their
Correspondence and Context, Jean-Michel Quinodoz brings together
these important letters. This rare collection of their
correspondence is a valuable contribution to the history of
psychoanalysis and will be essential reading for psychoanalysts,
trainee psychoanalysts and lay readers with an interest in the work
of Klein and Spira.
