Dr Freud by Paul Ferris

`A highly readable biography. . . wonderfully enjoyable. ' Independent on Sunday The story of Sigmund Freud was once the property of apologists, who were content to take his life and work at their face value. In recent years a new freud has emerged, no less significant but rather more fallible, as mysterious a creation as any of the subjects who crowded his case histories. This is the man Paul Ferris presents in this brilliant account of a long and desperate life. The man, his work and his world emerge in fine detail. Stoical, humorous devious, magnificently self-aware, he tried to explain us in terms of our memories and our past. But it is the wider attempt to grapple with the idiosyncrasis of human nature-his, and thus ours-that draws us into his web.
Gerald R. Ferris is Professor of Labor and Industrial Relations, of Business Administration, and of Psychology, and Caterpillar Foundation University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
