According to the kirkus Reviews, "the great merit of this book is that it takes Freud seriously, as well as his critics. The author talks rigorously about the restrictions of classic psychoanalysis, but he also shows a deep respect for its great contributions to our culture."

In his collection of essays, leading historian and philosopher of science John Forrester focuses on the life and work of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Forrestor discusses aspects of his clinical practice and personal relationships, to shed new light on the so-called «Freudian battles» between his supporters and detractors. What mysteries are hidden in Freud's relationship with his friend and disciple Ferenczi? What significance did his collection of enigmatic antique statuettes have for Freud? What really happened in therapy with the famous «Wolf Man»? Can we speak of a morality of psychoanalytic life? In his exploration of the disputes surrounding psychoanalysis, Forrester uncovers surprising ethical and epistemological aspects of this revolutionary perspective, now consolidated as one of the fundamental pillars of contemporary thought, which the tumultuous debates of a whole century had obscured.

This early work by Sigmund Freud was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Reflections on War and Death' is a work on the psychology and social attitudes toward war and death. Sigismund Schlomo Freud was born on 6th May 1856, in the Moravian town of Príbor, now part of the Czech Republic. He studied a variety of subjects, including philosophy, physiology, and zoology, graduating with an MD in 1881. Freud made a huge and lasting contribution to the field of psychology with many of his methods still being used in modern psychoanalysis. He inspired much discussion on the wealth of theories he produced and the reactions to his works began a century of great psychological investigation.

Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctorate--University College, London, 2001).

Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
