Book Overview
'The authors explanations of Freudian terms are much more understandable than many I have read....The book will be welcomed by those se eking a good introduction to Freud and by others who already "know" him for some of its new perspectives and interesting insights.... Even for non-Freudians, there is much to learn from his pursuit of understanding, and Jacobs book helps us both in our own search for meaning and in appreciating why Freud continues to be a major milestone in it - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling In refreshing contrast to most other titles on Sigmund Freud, the founding father of psychoanalysis, this book is distinctive in the accessible nature of its introduction to Freuds life and ideas and in its concentration on the relevance of Freuds theories and practice for contemporary approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. Michael Jacobs overview is based firmly on Freuds own writings and in his outline of this major figure Jacobs goes beyond a recapitulation of the existing literature to offer fresh insights. He has uncovered some surprises, about both Freud the man and his theories, and he presents and responds both systematically and concisely to the criticisms that Freuds work attracted.
