Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Who do we choose when we fall in love? How do we make the love object into what we want? This work brings together social theory, history, pop culture, autobiographical reflection and psychoanalysis in order to address these questions. The author looks at a number of relationships, such as: Alfred Hitchcock and Alma Reville; and the triangle of Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger and Elfriede Heidegger. But the core of the study is Freud himself and his choice of wife. Theweleit examines Freud's 1500 love letters to his fiancee and reviews his relationships with the female patients who became his helpers in the construction of psychoanalysis.
