<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Freud's concepts have become a part of our psychological vocabulary: unconscious thoughts and feelings, conflict, the meaning of dreams, the sensuality of childhood. But psychoanalytic thinking has undergone an enormous expansion and transformation over the past fifty years. With Freud and Beyond, Stephen A. Mitchell and Margaret J. Black make contemporary psychoanalytic thinking--the body of work that has been done since Freud--available for the first time. Richly illustrated with case examples, this lively, jargon-free introduction makes modern psychoanalytic thought accessible at last.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The classic, in-depth history of psychoanalysis, presenting over a hundred years of thought and theories</b><b></b> <p/> Sigmund Freud's concepts have become a part of our psychological vocabulary: unconscious thoughts and feelings, conflict, the meaning of dreams, the sensuality of childhood. But psychoanalytic thinking has undergone an enormous expansion and transformation since Freud's death in 1939. With <i>Freud and Beyond, </i>Stephen A. Mitchell and Margaret J. Black make the full scope of twentieth century psychoanalytic thinking-from Harry Stack Sullivan to Jacques Lacan; D.W. Winnicott to Melanie Klein-available for the first time. <p/> Richly illustrated with case examples, this lively, jargon-free introduction makes modern psychoanalytic thought accessible at last. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[<i>Freud and Beyond]</i> is remarkably coherent in a field notorious for the density of its technical prose.

Writing for the reader with little psychoanalytic training, the authors share the myths, developments, and inadequacies in psychoanalytic thought over time.--<i><b>Clinical Social Work Journal</b></i><br><br>The best treatment of psychoanalytic theories, classical and current.--<i><b>Choice</b></i><br><br>This is a marvelous book which gives an overview of the work of just about all Freud's important disciples and dissenters.

Mitchell and Margaret J. Black's <i>Freud and Beyond</i> has been my go to text. The new edition, including an excellent preface highlighting recent developments in the field, remains the best survey of the history and development of psychoanalysis and the essential guide to its many schools, approaches and innovations. Brilliantly explaining theory and elucidating clinical practice with elegant and compelling case illustrations, this comprehensive introduction remains the best place to start in understanding Freud and his legacy.--<b>Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen A.
