About This Item
New York and Washington D.C.: Vintage Books in association with the Library of Congress, 2000. x, 273 pages, illustrations; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "The exhibition Sigmund Freud: Conflict and Culture, mounted by the Library of Congress, explores the influence of Freud and psychoanalysis on twentieth-century culture and examines some of his central ideas concerning the individual and society. Contemporary evaluations, emerging from changes in scientific knowledge and ideological priorities, have changed the way we view Freud's contributions to our understanding of self and society. This volume, meant to reflect the lively and eclectic spirit of the show, is a gathering of variously challenging, erudite, and amusing essays by scholars, critics, and writers." - Publisher.
