About this work

Description

In contrast to most other books on Freud, this is a highly accessible account of his life and ideas, focusing on the relevance of Freud's work for contemporary approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. The book provides an overview based firmly on Freud's own writings, but goes beyond a recapitulation of the existing literature to offer fresh insights and some surprises, both about Freud the man and his theories. It presents and responds to the criticisms that Freud's work attracted, and charts his continuing influence in the 21st century.--From publisher description.
