Review Quotes:
"The present volume collects [Roazen's] essays on Freud scholarship in general and on a variety of related topics, including the personalities, friendships, major correspondence, and travels of Freud and his followers. The volume also contains useful chapters on the reception of Freud and psychoanalysis in different ideological and regional contexts... The tone of the book is informal, even intimate, for the author managed to interview most of the key figures about whom he writes. Students of Freud will find in this volume many intriguing details to fuel their curiosity. Graduate, research, and professional collections."
