"Cassandra's Daughter is the first complete history of psychoanalysis, from its origins in nineteenth-century medical science to the present day - that is, from the couch to Prozac." "Joseph Schwartz lays out the pre-Freudian approaches to mental illness and health and explains the context in which Freud's revolution took place. He traces the evolution of Freud's own thought, then shows how the rifts and shifts in the analytic community took place. He then focuses on Freud's colleagues, rivals, successors, and detractors - Jung, Adler, Harry Stack Sullivan, Melanie Klein, Erich Fromm, to name but a few. The center of analytic thought shifts from Vienna to London to New York, and for once we see how the rival schools and interpretations fit together - how they grew in response to each other, and what separate contributions each pioneer made over the last hundred years to create an effective understanding of the world of human subjective experience."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
