Sigmund Freud
The Doctor of Modernity A Biography
It details Freud’s professional career in 19th century
Vienna — a metropolis with an active artistic and scientifi
c community, where modern man’s self-deceptions
and fragile identities played out in various kinds of nervous
diseases. The book retraces the genesis of Freud’s
ground-breaking theories on sexuality and neurosis,
dreams and the unconscious, on family and society, fairy
tales and myth. Drawing on his previously unpublished
work, the author tells the story of the psychoanalytic
movement: it is a story about victory and defeat, about
the politics of social hierarchies and power struggles,
heated controversies and bitter disappointments. Sigmund
Freud emerges as a complex character, who was a
self-critical dogmatist and a scientifi c explorer, a Jewish
atheist and a devoted father of a family, an expert of classical
antiquity, a learned reader and a brilliant writer.
Sigmund Freud knew the torments of the soul from personal
experience, which his psychoanalysis was meant
to cure.
