Book Description

Excerpt from The Hysteria of Lady Macbeth Several years have elapsed since this little book first appeared and during that period, in spite of opposition and acrimonious and even personal antagonism and criticism, psychoanalysis in both its medical and cultural aspects has steadily forged ahead. It is now engaging the attention of all thinking men and women, both inside and outside the medical profession. In the future, the opponents of psychoanalysis will have been relegated to a well-deserved oblivion, the same fate that overtook the opponents of Harvey and Darwin, when facts of the circulation of the blood and of organic evolution were first given to the world. Meanwhile, the name of Freud is being firmly established as the most original, penetrating and fertile thinker in the realm of psychology and psychotherapy that has yet appeared in the history of science.
