{"product_id":"early-freud-and-late-freud","title":"Early Freud and Late Freud","description":"\u003cp\u003eIlse Grubrich-Simitis, well-known as a Freud scholar and editor of Freud's works, has long advocated a return to his original texts in order to comprehend fully the power and innovative force of his theories. In \u003cem\u003eEarly Freud and Late Freud \u003c\/em\u003eshe examines the earliest psychoanalytic book, \u003cem\u003eStudies on Hysteria\u003c\/em\u003e, which Freud wrote together with Breuer, and \u003cem\u003eMoses and Monotheism\u003c\/em\u003e, Freud's last book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essay on \u003cem\u003eStudies on Hysteria\u003c\/em\u003e reveals to the reader why that book is indeed the 'primal book' of psychoanalysis. Not only does it offer a moving and dramatic account of the birth of the psychoanalytic method, but by introducing the key concept of trauma it establishes a foundation on which much of modern psychoanalysis has been built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreud was to return to his original theory of trauma in his last book, \u003cem\u003eMoses and Monotheism\u003c\/em\u003e, where he developed it further in the light of his intervening researches. On the basis of her study of the Moses manuscripts and by applying the psychoanalytic method, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis shows how contemporary traumatic events in Nazi Germany may have influenced this return to the beginning and the intensification of Freud's self-analysis. This in turn was to lead to new insights into archaic forms of defence, pointing the way forward for modern psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElegantly constructed and persuasively argued, \u003cem\u003eEarly Freud and Late Freud\u003c\/em\u003e re-establishes the importance of two major Freudian texts, offering a new understanding of their significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54979304227160,"sku":"9780415148443","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415148443.jpg?v=1777956324","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/early-freud-and-late-freud","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
