Description: Many of the leading Freudian analysts, including in the early days, Jung, Adler, Reich and Rank, attempted to link the writings of Nietzsche with the clinical work of Freud. But what was Nietzsche to Freud - an intuitive anticipation, a precursor, a rival psychologist? This book offers a deeper analysis of the relation between these two figures.

Review Quotes: "A lucid, incisive analysis of the interrelationship between Nietzsche's unsystematic, but acute, psychological observations and significant elements in Freudian psychoanalysis."
