Product Description:
"A landmark in the study of the historical origins of psychoanalysis." — American Journal of Psychiatry A pioneering scholarly investigation into the intersection of personality and cultural history, this study asserts that Freudian psychology is rooted in Judaism — particularly, in the mysticism of the Kabbalah. It examines how Freud’s Jewish heritage contributed, either consciously or unconsciously, to his psychological theories and offers an essential tool for understanding the foundations of modern psychoanalysis.
