The author of this book contends that today, from the point of view of intellectual history, Freud looms as a subject in an even larger way than he did back in the 1960s. His thinking has impinged, for good or ill, on how we think about character and the nature of human impulses.

Despite its aloofness from ethical questions, psychoanalysis has attracted to itself an extraordinary degree of sectarian bitterness. Original thinkers have become condemned as dissidents. This title shows how the contentiousness over Freud's legacy has remained central to human self-awareness.

This study of Sigmund Freud and his complex relationships with the men and women who formed his circle focuses as much on the human dramas involved as on the ideas the participants developed. Roazen draws on interviews, as well as the unreleased papers of his authorized biographer, Ernest Jones.
