A review by joshcurtis
An Autobiographical Study by Sigmund Freud

3.0

I think it's important to understand the historical context of Freud. What ideas he was responding to, how he situated his body of work in the history of science, and looking forward, what he thought his contributions would amount to. Because the standard caricature of him is removed from this context, we get the picture of him as the guy who said that you want to fuck your mom. That isn't the historical Freud.
