Bøker av Elisabeth Young-Bruehl

Young-Bruehl here reflects on the relations between self-knowledge, autobiography, biography, and cultural history. She considers what remains valuable in Sigmund Freud's work, and what areas-theory of character, for instance-must be rethought to be useful for current psychoanalytic work, for feminist studies, and for social theory.

Surveying the study of prejudice since World War II, Elisabeth Young-Bruehl suggests an approach that distinguishes between different types of prejudices, the people who hold them, the social and political settings that promote them, and the human needs they fulfill.
