Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - With the intrigue of a mystery, Questions for Freud uncovers the paradoxes that riddle psychoanalysis today and traces them to Freud's life. Nicholas Rand and Maria Torok develop a new biographical and conceptual approach to psychoanalysis, one that outlines Freud's contradictory theories of mental functioning against the backdrop of his permanent lack of insight into crucial and traumatic aspects of his immediate family's life. This book offers a new way of understanding the flaws and contradictions of Freud's thought without losing sight of its significance. ...
