While Sigmund Freud was anxiously awaiting the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Interpretation of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he first theorized about the Oedipal hostilities between parents and children, every day's headlines proclaimed the ugly reality of child abuse. Focusing on the four cases that dominated the pages of the newspapers, Larry Wolff's riveting narrative paints a picture of a great city enthralled by a spectacle it desperately wished to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Wolff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814792871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814792872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.90w x 0.75d","brand":"Larry Wolff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926453879039,"sku":"9780814792872","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_70682613-689d-4089-bc38-bb24e9186732.jpg?v=1681083164","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/child-abuse-in-freuds-vienna-larry-wolff-9780814792872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
