Since Sigmund Freud’s death in 1939, the theories that he and other psychoanalytic pioneers put forward have been attacked from all sides. A political and ideological revolution has swept through the West, changing our cultural values and censoring psychoanalytic research. Today's psychoanalysis bears little resemblance to Freud’s psychodynamic theory. Modern psychoanalysts have repealed his theories about women, homosexuality, drive theory, and cultural psychology without offering plausible substitutes. In this collection of papers, a noted psychoanalyst and author points the way back to a more centrist view. The volume includes studies of the death trauma, gender narcissism, female psychology, psychological aspects of cancer, race and gender in psychotherapy, and the trend to make schizophrenia and other mental disturbances genetic.
