This documentary cartoon book plunges us into the world of late-nineteenth-century Vienna in which Freud grew up. We explore his early background in science, his work as a therapist, his encounter with cocaine, and his theories on the unconscious, dreams, the Oedipus Complex, and sexuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe meet his family, his friend and enemies, and his patients -- The Rat Man, Anna O., Little Hans -- and we get an insider's view as the psychoanalytic movement is launched. The zany art and probing text do an extraordinary job of simplifying Freud without trivializing him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Appignanesi, Oscar Zarate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 037571460X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375714603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 5.48w x 0.54d","brand":"Richard Appignanesi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919615885567,"sku":"9780375714603","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_606fad16-56a4-43b3-b603-c28a8e91d6d2.jpg?v=1680810377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freud-for-beginners-richard-appignanesi-9780375714603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
