Freud and the Culture of Psychoanalysis

Steven Marcus discusses Freuds famous cases "Dora" and "The Rat Man," as well as the Freud--Fliess correspondence, the <em>Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality</em>, and the evolution of Freuds notion of the superego. Through his close reading of various of Freuds theoretical and clinical texts, he is able to asses Freud both as an exemplary late Victorian and as a pivotal figure in the creation of modern thought and culture.
