More copies of this ISBN:Freud's answer :the social origins of our psychoanalytic centuryby Martin Wain
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this stimulating and original book, Martin Wain provides the first coherent view of the roots of Freudian psycho-analysis, showing how Freud and his colleagues were social, political, and economic therapists in the broadest sense. Their patient was modern Western culture at a time of disorder and maximum danger. Their treatment consisted of deep, suggestive, symbolic messages so effective and desirable that for a hundred years they held sway, influencing a myriad of human endeavors. Freud's Answer illuminates one of the major intellectual phenomena of our age. Book News Annotation:Argues that the reason for the growth and success of the
psychoanalytic theories of Freud and his colleagues was a broad
social crisis which threatened the order of the European liberal
democracies. The theories of Freud, according to the author, were a
normalizing force which no longer equated social rebellion with sin
or political disobedience, but with a sickness supported by the
"objectivity" of science. Psychoanalysis was, in the end, a new
control which took the place of authority in the name of the king,
the church, or the family.
