Présentation de l'éditeur

Has Freud been seriously misunderstood? Do the standard translations distort his thought and conceal his profound humanism?Indeed, have psychoanalysts - Freud's 'ministers of souls' - become mere medical technicians? Bruno Bettelheim's brilliantly argued polemic cuts through the myths in order to reveal the real Freud - a greater, more passionate but also a far more disturbing figure than he is usually portrayed.'There have long been rumblings about the inadequacy of English translations of Freud Bruno Bettelheim's new book is the most powerful blast yet, and its reverberations will not soon die away. Much of his attack is clearly justified.' Times Educational Supplement
