'For decades students of Freud have struggled to grasp the evolution of his ideas and their place in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. Rosine Perelberg's new volume responds to that struggle with a masterful reader's guide that places Freud's thinking in its historical context and that breathes life into some of his most arcane metaphysical concepts. Moreover, the book also sheds light on cross-cultural currents in psychoanalysis as it is practiced today by drawing equally from French and British authors. This impressive piece of work will be ideal for teachers of Freud in the academy and in psychoanalytic institutes, but it will be of equal value to experienced analysts who wish to plumb the depths of Freud and his contribution.' - Glen O. Gabbard, Brown Foundation Chair of Psychoanalysis and Professor of Psychoanalysis and Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, USA; Joint Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Psychoanalysis'Rosine Perelberg has invited an impressive list of British and French psychoanalysts to contribute to this contemporary Freud reader, thus establishing an important and productive dialogue between two different psychoanalytic traditions. Perelberg's excellent introduction is a tour de force that organizes Freud's thinking in an original way around central themes and conceptual frameworks. The book is an enlightening guide that will help students and professionals alike to rediscover the Freudian texts. A very useful and welcome companion to Freud's work.' - Gregorio Kohon, Training and Supervising Analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society, London
