Freud's world. An encyclopedia of his life and times.

Einband leicht berieben. - From his curious, early-career beliefs about cocaine to the inherent sexism of his approach to child development and his pessimistic take on humanity as a whole, Freud's work has inspired as many detractors as proponents. There is nevertheless no denying the far-reaching influence and legacy of his theories and methods, despite the deep-seated controversy about his techniques and the unscientific nature of many of his major ideas. Freud's World: An Encyclopedia of His Life and Times organizes the important components of Freud's life and work in an encyclopedia format, enabling readers to quickly zero in on the particular ideas, individuals, and circumstances that contributed to his vast influence. Controversy about the scientific utility of psychoanalytic concepts is specifically addressed. Acknowledgments xiii Abraham, Karl (1877-1925) 1 Adler, Alfred (1870-1937) 9 Anna O.
