Sandor Ferenczi (1873-1933), probably Freud's closest collaborator, was totally committed to the huge potential of psychoanalysis. Yet he was equally alert to its dangers, anticipating many of the criticisms which are common today. This anthology contains newly revised translations of his major essays as well as some essays never before available in English. 'A giant in the history of modern psychotherapy... understanding Ferenczi is an essential constituent to the history of Freud and his whole school' - Paul Roazen 'Ferenczi's lived life, and lived writings, offers us something too rare in psychoanalysis: the fluency of disorder, the inspirations of error' - Adam Philips

Synopsis:

A selection from the adventurous, fascinating and sometimes disconcerting writings of Sandor Ferenczi. Although over half a century has passed since his death, there is not much in the way of recent ideas about psychotherapy technique that he did not anticipate. For years Ferenczi remained one of Freud's most intimate collaborators, despite their difficulties toward the end of both their lives.
