Freud, surgery, and the surgeons

A work of historical scholarship, Freud, Surgery, and the Surgeons is no less important for the fundamental questions it poses about the temperament of caregivers and the techniques of caregiving. Clinicians, historians, and lay readers alike will find much to admire in this finely crafted narrative, which brings historical insight to bear on a singularly timely issue: the differences and commonalities among healers with different professional backgrounds and specialties.
