A propos de ce titre

Revue de presse

'Brilliant ... a magisterial study' -- Financial Times. 'A brilliant book ... by far the best intellectual history of psychoanalysis yet written' -- Lancet. 'At last: a history of psychoanalysis without partisanship or rancour. This neutral and thorough account of one of the most controversial intellectual movements to sweep Europe and the world ... is greatly needed today ... An impressive achievement' --Literary Review.

'Rich and even-handed ... Makari's lucid and thoroughly researched book is an indispensible guide' -- TLS. 'Beautifully researched ... This is one of the clearest accounts I have read of this period ... He writes in a style that makes his book equally absorbing as a holiday book and a textbook and it will attract non-clinicians as much as practitioners' - British Journal of Psychiatry. 'Pioneering ... an important, even brilliant book ... An immensely joyful experience ... riverting' --International Journal of Psychoanalysis.

'By far the best informed history of psychoanalysis' -- Harold Bloom. 'Makari has written nothing less than a history of the modern mind ... an astounding breath of knowlege and an unprecedented gift for synthesis' -- Paul Auster. 'Rather than providing yet another biography of Freud, Makari maps out the Freud family tree with all its thorny branches, its disciples and dissenters' -- New York Times. 'A terrific new history of psychoanalysis ... a compelling, rich narrative filled with fascinating characters and colorful settings' -- --New York Post.
