Reading Freud A Chronological Exploration of Freud's Writings

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 This uniquely comprehensive presentation of Freud's work will be of great value to anyone studying Freud and Psychoanalysis.Quinodoz, Jean-Michel is the author of 'Reading Freud A Chronological Exploration of Freud's Writings', published 2005 under ISBN 9781583917466 and ISBN 1583917462.
