Sigmund Freud: Pioneer of the Mind
Preview: Hear it

Few historical figures have captured the public imagination as completely as Sigmund Freud. At a time when many ailments of the mind were treated with soothing baths or dangerous electroshock therapy, Freud initiated a novel practice he simply listened to his patients. He called his method of treatment psychoanalysis, or the talking cure. Though the validity of Freuds theories is still widely debated, there is little doubt that his contributions to the study of the mind were invaluable. In this compelling, evenhanded biography, Catherine Reef explains Freuds groundbreaking theories and methods and shows how Freudian thought has affected our culture, changing the way we think about everything from art and literature to raising children. Beautiful archival family photographs round out this intimate look at a fascinating man. Endnotes, bibliography, index.
