Freud's self-analysis and beyond

The Freud-Fliess letters are the very foundations of psychoanalysis as most authors agree that it is possible to recognize what Freud developed later. Basically, through those letters Freud analysed himself and the reader can appreciate the very beginning of the great discoveries that Freud did after that period. In particular, Fliess who was Freud's best friend, shared the same scientific enthusiasm of Freud, but the pair ended up building a very odd relationship, namely Freud unconsciously considered Fliess his analyst (even if they were only corresponding) and most authors agree that Freud developed a negative transference that led to the end of the friendship. Anyone interested in the history of psychoanalysis should read this book and explore Freud's passions.
