Product Description
The fledgling science of psychoanalysis everlastingly altered the nineteenth-century worldview with its remarkable new insights into human behavior and motivation. It quickly became a benchmark for modernity in the twentieth century–though its durability in the twenty-first may now be in doubt.
More than a hundred years after the publication of Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, we’re no longer in thrall, says cultural historian Eli Zaretsky, to the “romance” of psychotherapy and the authority of the analyst. Only now do we have enough perspective to assess the successes and shortcomings of psychoanalysis, from its late-Victorian Era beginnings to today’s age of psychopharmacology. In Secrets of the Soul, Zaretsky charts the different schools in the psychoanalytic community and how they evolved–sometimes below pressure–from sexism to feminism, from homophobia to acceptance of diversity, from social control to private emancipation. From Freud to Zoloft, Zaretsky tells the tale of what may be the most intimate science of all.
