 Freud
and Beyond : A History of Modern Psychoanalytic Thought
by Stephen
A. Mitchell, Margaret
J. Black (Contributor).
Mitchell's review of the lasting importance
and revolutionary impact of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical theories struck a deep cord within me. Informative, lucid and
surprisingly well-paced, this history of the modern journey into
the mind emerged as an abbreviated form of clinical therapy for
the curious, yet, perhaps psychologically unsuspecting reader. I
came out of this book feeling that I had spent years lying on a
couch in Vienna. As an introduction into an intimidating and
vast field, "Freud and Beyond" gently guides its
student into an appreciative approach to psychoanalysis and its
profound impact on modern thought... -- anonymous review

Biography by Peter Landry at blupete.com. Excerpt:
Freud was big on hypnosis, but it eventually took a second seat to
another of his ideas, that of "free association." Freud placed much emphasis on
infantile sexuality and emphasized that many of our problems in later life come from our
relationships with our parents, the so-called Oedipus complex. 2
The symptoms of neurosis, according to Freud, "are essentially substitute
gratifications for unfulfilled sexual wishes." From Freud's teachings sprang a whole
industry; which has milked, and continues to milk, most all of western society; as a
sizable portion of the population goes about psychoanalyzing their fellows. This intrusive
Freudian exercise, I might add, is carried out, mainly, at the expense of the hard working
portion of the population who would hardly think they have any need for psychoanalysis
themselves; nor, if they knew something of the subject, would they consider that anyone
else needs it either, and certainly not at their expense.3
Some4 disagreed with Freud and his central emphasis on
sexuality, but basically most practitioners of psychiatry today would agree with
fundamental Freudian principles. Freud's work effected a profound revolution in man's
attitude towards, and comprehension of, his mental processes, constituting after Copernicus
and Darwin,
a third blow to man's self-esteem.
