Seize After Freud Left: A Century Of Psychoanalysis In America Assembled By John C. Burnham Offered As Audio Books
Augustto September,, Sigmund Freud visited the United States, where he gave five lectures at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
This volume brings together a stunning gallery of leading historians of psychoanalysis and of American culture to consider the broad history of psychoanalysis in America and to reflect on what has happened to Freuds legacy in the United
States in the century since his visit.
There has been a flood of recent scholarship on Freuds life and on the European and world history of psychoanalysis, but historians have produced relatively little on the proliferation of psychoanalytic thinking in the United States, where Freuds work had monumental intellectual and social impact.
The essays in After Freud Left provide readers with insights and perspectives to help them understand the uniqueness of Americans psychoanalytic thinking, as well as the forms in which the legacy of Freud remains active in the United States in the twentyfirst century.
After Freud Left will be essential reading for anyone interested in twentiethcentury American history, general intellectual and cultural history, and psychology and psychiatry.
