Becoming William James
by Howard M. Feinstein
On This Page
Description
For William James, work was the problem. Ultimately, going to work was the resolution, and James's quest for meaningful work remains as relevant at the end of the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. Weaving letters, diaries, drawings, and published texts, Becoming William James provides a convincing biographical analysis rich in detail and tone. In his new introduction, Howard M. Feinstein adds biological psychiatry to psychoanalytic and family systems theories to inform our show more understanding of a complex man. In addition, he discusses whether James's mental illness might have been treated with drugs. show lessTags
