Description

The life and work of Sigmund Freud continue to fascinate general and professional readers alike. Joel Whitebook here presents the first major biography of Freud because the last century, making an allowance for up to date developments in psychoanalytic theory and practice, gender studies, philosophy, cultural theory, and more. Offering a radically new portrait of the writer of psychoanalysis, this book explores the man in all his complexity alongside an interpretation of his theories that cuts in the course of the stereotypes that surround him. The development of Freud’s thinking is addressed not only within the context of his personal life, but additionally in that of society and culture at large, even as the affect of his thinking on subsequent issues of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and social theory is fully examined. Whitebook demonstrates that declarations of Freud’s obsolescence are premature, and, together with his clear and engaging style, brings this vivid figure to life in compelling and readable fashion.
