{"product_id":"freuds-patients-mikkel-borch-jacobsen-9781789144550","title":"Freud's Patients: A Book of Lives","description":"\u003cb\u003ePortraits of the thirty-eight known patients Sigmund Freud treated clinically--some well-known, many obscure--reveal a darker, more complex picture of the famed psychoanalyst.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Everyone knows the characters described by Freud in his case histories: \"Dora,\" the \"Rat Man,\" the \"Wolf Man.\" But what do we know of the people, the lives behind these famous pseudonyms: Ida Bauer, Ernst Lanzer, Sergius Pankejeff? Do we know the circumstances that led them to Freud's consulting room, or how they fared--how they \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e fared--following their treatments? And what of those patients about whom Freud wrote nothing, or very little: Pauline Silberstein, who threw herself from the fourth floor of her analyst's building; Elfriede Hirschfeld, Freud's \"grand-patient\" and \"chief tormentor;\" the fashionable architect Karl Mayreder; the psychotic millionaire Carl Liebmann; and so many others? In an absorbing sequence of portraits, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen offers the stories of these men and women--some comic, many tragic, all of them deeply moving. In total, thirty-eight lives tell us as much about Freud's clinical practice as his celebrated case studies, revealing a darker and more complex Freud than is usually portrayed: the doctor as his patients, their friends, and their families saw him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789144558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789144550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022","brand":"Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043996987647,"sku":"9781789144550","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12d6e5ba-2a50-4eb8-8e0d-a4cfd008fcf8.jpg?v=1684970322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freuds-patients-mikkel-borch-jacobsen-9781789144550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
