Review of 'Freud and Beyond: A History of Modern Psychoanalytic Thought' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is an unusually lucid discussion of Freud and various subsequent variations of psychoanalysis up until about 1995. The jargon may get you down, but I think this has been handled about as clearly as possible. The various theories are presented in the classical fashion with an associated case history.
[There is no discussion of attempted measures of efficacy, controlled studies, or similar possible impediments to these creations, but there is plenty of literature on that (or its absence) in the last few decades.]
