Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, a strikingly original biography of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis'Adam Phillips is, I believe, one of the most engaging writers in the world on analysis and the analytic movement . . . Phillipss own love of the beauty and power of psychoanalysis here serves both him and the reader wonderfully well.'Vivian Gornick, New York Times Book ReviewBecoming Freud is the story of the young Sigmund Freud (18561939)Freud up until the age of fiftythat incorporates all of Freuds many misgivings about the art of biography. Freud invented a psychological treatment that involved the telling and revising of life stories, but he was himself skeptical of the writing of such stories. In this biography, Adam Phillips, whom the New Yorker calls Britains foremost psychoanalytical writer, emphasizes the largely and inevitably undocumented story of Freuds earliest years as the oldestand favoredson of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and suggests that the psychoanalysis Freud invented was, among many other things, a psychology of the immigrantincreasingly, of course, everybodys status in the modern world.Psychoanalysis was also Freuds way of coming to terms with the fate of the Jews in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. So as well as incorporating the writings of Freud and his contemporaries, Becoming Freud also uses the work of historians of the Jews in Europe in this significant period in their lives, a period of unprecedented political freedom and mounting persecution. Phillips concludes by speculating what psychoanalysis might have become if Freud had died in 1906, before the emergence of a psychoanalytic movement over which he had to preside.About Jewish Lives:Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity.
