Science Communication [An] entertaining and rich biography [Maddox] faithfully directs the reader to well-researched resources Readable, at times very humorous, and certainly thought provoking. SciTech Book News, 12/08 Maddox leaves the warts on Jones and everyone around him, and she fully reports the details of where their feuds took them. American Journal of Psychiatry, June 2009 [A] superb biography Adds a long-overdue chapter to the story of psychoanalysis and an unanticipated perspective on its ascendancy Will delight and inform even those with extensive prior reading in the history of psychoanalysis.

Reseña del editor:

The saturation of the English-speaking world with Freudian psychoanalytic concepts was due largely to one brilliant analyst, Ernest Jones. As Freuds disciple, colleague, biographer, and empire builder, he led the international psychoanalytic movement and moved its vortex from Vienna to London, and its influence to Toronto, New York, and Boston. While negotiating the ferocious politics and rivalry of the movement, Jones also managed an imposing series of liaisons that included an heiress and her maid, analysands, and a Druid Bride. Jones, unlike Freud, never had to wonder what do women want? From Joness first encounter with Freuds writings as a medical student to the eve of World War II, when he orchestrated the masters escape to London a hairsbreadth away from the death camps, Maddox lays bare a dark and creative era, and a colorfully flawed but powerfully influential man.
