Jean-Michel Quinodoz introduces the essential life and work of Sigmund
Freud, from the beginning of his clinical experiences in Vienna in the
1880s to his final years in London in the 1930s. Freud’s
discoveries, including universally-influential concepts like the
Oedipus complex and the interpretation of dreams, continue to be
applied in many disciplines today. Elegantly and clearly written, each
chapter leaves the reader with a solid framework for understanding key
Freudian concepts, and an appetite for further knowledge.
Accessible for readers inside and outside the field of
psychoanalysis, there is nothing at all equivalent in English. The
book starts with Freud’s life before the discovery of
psychoanalysis, spanning from 1856 to 1900, when The Interpretation of
Dreams was published. The subsequent chapters are devoted to the
presentation of the key notions of psychoanalysis. A chronological
perspective shows how Freud's work has been constantly enriched by the
successive contributions of Freud himself, as well as his successors.
Freud’s contributions are also embedded in the daily, clinical
practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The last chapter
concerns Freud’s life from 1900 to 1939, the year of his death. This
fascinating, concise and accessible introduction to the life and work
of Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential and revolutionary
figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, by
internationally-renowned author Jean-Michel Quinodoz, will appeal to
both professional readers and anyone with an interest in
psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and the history of ideas.. The book
presents the major contributions of Sigmund Freud in their nascent
state, as and when they appeared, and shows that they are as alive
today as ever.
