Freud: A Modern Reader (Whurr Series In Psychoanalysis)

"Another exceptional and thought-provoking book from Dr Perelberg, who has brought together an impressive collection of contemporary psychoanalysts to explore current thinking around Freud.

As with her other works, Dr Perelberg manages to adroitly construct bridges - between disciplines (social anthropology and psychoanalysis, for example), between the British and French traditions in psychoanalysis, and between past and present interpretations and views of Freud's writings.

If you're interested in reading about Freud's famous case studies - Dora, the Wolf Man, the Rat Man, the Schreber case - they're all there. By reading them, we gain a real insight into the way Freud was ahead of his time: he gave the women a voice, and listened closely to some very troubled men.

This book is an excellent guide to Freud's work, if you are interested in psychoanalysis not only as a theory, but also as a way of curing suffering."
