Freud and the Seduction Theory: A Brief Love Affair
by K. R. Eissler
On This Page
Description
The theory of the etiology of hysteria that Freud announced in 1896, the so-called seduction theory, has evoked critical responses and sensational claims. Few critics, however, have understood what the theory asserted, and fewer still, why Freud proposed it and quickly gave it up. This posthumous work endeavors to set the record straight. Eissler outlines the theoretical and clinical advances accompanying Freud's transformation from a neurologist who administered electric current to show more hysterics into the discoverer of psychoanalysis. show lessTags
