About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Kurzweil traces the ways in which psychoanalysis has evolved in Austria, England, France, Germany, and the United States.

Review

"[This book] is the loving work of a scholar steeped in the nuances and controversies of a field that is second to none in provoking magnificent creativity, outspoken hostility, and the endlessly enticing likelihood that there is indeed far more to human behavior than meets the eye of the ordinary social scientist, psychologist, or lay person."

--Gordon Fellman, Contemporary Sociology

"Edith Kurzweil's lucid and intelligent book is one of the few to suggest that national cultures have influenced psychoanalysis."

--David George, The Jerusalem Post
