Dispatches from the Freud Wars

More about the book

In a challenging collection of essays, noted historian and philosopher of science John Forrester delves into the disputes over Freud's dead body. With wit and erudition, Forrester gives us a sense of the ethical surprises and epistemological riddles that a century of tumultuous psychoanalytical debate has often obscured. In these pages we explore dreams, history, ethics, political theory, and the motor of psychoanalysis as a scientific movement.
