Customer Reviews

Good intro. Way beyond the Oedipus complex.

This is a very good general introduction to the ways in which Freud studies 'hook up with' many other areas, like literature, women's studies, film, etc. It shows us how wide Freud's influence has been, in so many fields. The essays by Feldstein, Flieger, and Gallop are particularly helpful. Maya Reeves, New Jersey
