Freud : Inventor of the Modern Mind

Part of the acclaimed Eminent Lives series, Freud is a concise and seductive biography of the father of psychiatry. Dr. Peter D. Kramer, the author of Listening to Prozac and Against Depression offers a critical and sympathetic portrait, recognizing what is archaic in Freuds work and also what endures, interpreting him as not only a pioneer, but as a writer whose work will survive among the classics of literature.
