{"product_id":"in-defense-of-schreber-henry-zvi-lothane-9781138872295","title":"In Defense of Schreber: Soul Murder and Psychiatry","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this stunning reappraisal of the celebrated case of Daniel Paul Schreber, Lothane takes the reader on a richly documented tour of all the ingredients that made Schreber's illness a unique psychiatric event. Building outward from a close examination of Schreber's troubled relationship to his two psychiatrists, Flechsig and Weber, Lothane elaborates the personal, familial, and cultural contexts of Schreber's illness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncorporating extensive new archival and bibliographic research, and providing extensive accounts of the personalities and theories of Schreber's two psychiatrists, Paul Flechsig and Guido Weber, Zvi Lothane offers a stunning reappraisal of the Schreber case that overturns virtually all previous opinion. Lothane examines both the man and his milieu in a way that allows the reader \u003cbr\u003efresh access not only to the tragedy of Schreber's illness but also to his heroic, if doomed, attempts to come to terms with his condition through writing. In the process, he persuasively demonstrates that important issues of both psychiatric diagnosis and psychoanalytic interpretation have heretofore been compromised by a failure to pay sufficient attention to Schreber's interpersonal, cultural, and historical contexts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Zvi Lothane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138872296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138872295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Henry Zvi Lothane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545668309247,"sku":"9781138872295","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ade41d95-b573-4dd6-8660-840f6ebf98f1.jpg?v=1738183044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-defense-of-schreber-henry-zvi-lothane-9781138872295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
