About the author

Alfred Ernest Jones was a neurologist and psychoanalyst, and Sigmund Freud’s official biographer. Jones was the first English-speaking practitioner of psychoanalysis and became its leading exponent in the English-speaking world where, as President of both the British Psycho-Analytical Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association in the 1920s and 1930s, he exercised a formative influence in the establishment of its organisations, institutions and publications.

Reductionist and outdated. I mainly kept reading because some case studies were interesting, but this Abraham guy kept getting in the way with his bizarro conclusions :/ there are some good memes (the best one has to be that time when Abraham thought that his female patient rubbing her forehead wrinkle was a displaced act of masturbation. You just can't make this shit up), but the book is waaaaay to long and boring to be something you read for laughs you know

Karl Abraham was a brilliant psychoanalytic theoretician/practitioner whose clinical insights regarding the relationships between character, early development and psychopathology were unmatched. His ideas provided the foundation for object relations theory and were a direct influence on Melanie Klein. Abraham writes with a wonderful clarity and provides full explanations based on his clinical observations of patients he treated.

An elaboration of the Freudian theory. Abraham picks up where Freud had left off. Easy read and great case studies. One of Abraham's gift is his power of insight and radical conclusions.

I read some parts for my BA dissertation... Old view points but still somewhat relevant
