Blazing a trail unprecedented in Freud research, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis turns to
Freud's original manuscripts to provide a fresh and authentic view of his
methods of working, his psychological states, the events of his life, and the
development of his thinking. This book is at once a study of Freud's creativity,
an authoritative commentary on previously unexplored aspects of his life and
work, and an important reference on his own texts.
