Book by Matthew Sharpe Joanne Faulkner

Críticas:

"Psychoanalysis has outlived its obituaries and philosophy, as outlined in this book, has helped its resuscitation. This is just as well since we need it. Here is an 'introduction' that trades neither scope for accuracy nor clarity for depth. With the Wolf-Man at my door, Anna O thirsty, Dora in hysterics, and George W. in the White House, this is the book I would reach for." - Michael P. Levine, University Of Western Australia"
