Review

“Young-Bruehl’s description of one of the most complex but brilliant lights in psychoanalytic history has stood as a beacon to students of psychoanalytic history. It is the best most carefully crafted biography of any psychoanalyst and it illuminates the entire tradition with a clarity that only the exploration of the life of the daughter of the founder of the movement could possibly provide. It is a beautifully written insightful and remarkably edifying piece of work. The best has just got better.”—Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London
(Peter Fonagy )

"This book is still . . . the gold standard of biographies of thinkers in the psychoanalytic tradition and thus continues to merit a place among the best. . . . Libraries . . . will want this volume . . . required reading for those interested in . . . psychological thought and practices . . ."— Choice (Choice )
