Available for Preorder: The End of Freud? by Edward Nersessian
$19.95
“A brilliant, easy-to-read, and provocative book by Ed Nersessian, a prominent psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, and superb clinician, points to the elephant in the room and challenges key aspects of psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. His arguments are compelling and hit the core of the problem: What is correct or should be revised about Freud’s contributions after about a century of psychoanalytic clinical work? This is a must-read for everyone.” —CRISTINA ALBERINI, PhD, LP, Julius Silver, Roslyn S. Silver & Enid Silver Winslow Professor, Center for Neural Science
“Edward Nersessian’s memoir, The End of Freud? is a fascinating personal story of early life in Iran and Europe, and later a professional life, starting in the 1970s as a Freudian psychoanalyst in New York. Of course, he discusses his clinical experience, but also does a good deal of self-reflection, which slowly leads him to question key facets of Freud’s approach. Regardless of what you think of Freud, you will find Nerssessian’s journey not just fascinating but also intellectually rich.”
— JOSEPH LEDOUX, Professor Emeritus at NYU, author of many books on the mind and brain. His most recent contribution is The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human
