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.

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."

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Freud was born to Galician Jewish parents in the Moravian town of Freiberg, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He qualified as a doctor of medicine in 1881 at the University of Vienna. Upon completing his habilitation in 1885, he was appointed a docent in neuropathology and became an affiliated professor in 1902. Freud lived and worked in Vienna, having set up his clinical practice there in 1886. In 1938 Freud left Austria to escape the Nazis. He died in exile in the United Kingdom in 1939.
