I haven't yet read any criticism of Freud so what i have at this point is just my amazement and excitement with the models he proposes. He shone a bright light on my understanding of dreams, neurotic symptoms and generally the condition of mental suffering. I am very greatful for that and i want to know more.
This book also provides a glimpse into the history of psychoanalysis, namely the problems that Freud and early psychoanalysts had to encounter while developing theory and practice, ironing out the details and then dealing with the protesting reactions of the public. They faced a lot of hate and it was interesting to read how they dealt with it and how they felt about it. ( )
