Sigmund Freud remains a towering figure whose therapeutic innovations, including the "talking cure," free association, and dream interpretation, revolutionized our understanding of human thought and behavior. Freud: The Man, The Scientist, and the Birth of Psychoanalysis details the life of this iconoclastic genius, examining how he developed his famous theories. It explores Freud`s struggles with his own neuroses and how they led to his pioneering self-analysis, in which he refined his still-unproven techniques by applying them to himself.
