Freud and the Culture of Psychoanalysis (RLE

<p>Originally published in 1984 this book broke new ground in assessing Freud as both an exemplary late-Victorian and as a pivotal figure in the creation of modern thought and culture. </p> <p>It is a major contribution to our understanding of how ideas and theories become internalized into the intellectual framework of our lives and affect the way we think about the world.
