Synopsis :

The story of Otto Fenichel and a circle of analysts that included Edith Jacobson and Annie Reich exposes a virtually unknown chapter in the often strange history of psychoanalysis. (Preface). ISBN : 0465069169. XV + 201 p. Texte en anglais / text in english !

Présentation de l'éditeur: By examining the private correspondence of a circle of German psychoanalyst emigres that included Otto Fenichel, Annie Reich, and Edith Jacobson, Russell Jacoby recaptures the radical zeal of classical analysis and the efforts of the Fenichel group to preserve psychoanalysis as a social and political theory, open to a broad range of intellectuals regardless of their medical background. In tracing this effort, he illuminates the repression by psychoanalysis of its own radical past and its transformation into a narrow medical technique. This book is of critical interest to the general reader as well as to psychoanalytic historians, theorists, and therapists.
