On the Couch: Writers Analyze Sigmund Freud

Editor : Andrew Blauner

Reviews and Endorsements

"[T]here is much here to intrigue and provoke... The best essays come from those writers who seem intuitively to sense what it is they can bring to the reading of Freud as writers.
Josh Cohen, Times Literary Supplement

Eighty-five years after his death, is there anything left to say about Freud? Andrew Blauner’s fine collection On the Couch answers an emphatic yes. A dream-team of leading writers consider subjects ranging from Freud’s first scientific paper (on eel testicles) to the shadowy figure of his wife Martha, and his love of dogs. The book offers lucid, deeply personal reflections on the complicated legacies of psychoanalysis.
Nick Haslam, The Conversation

"This volume is a reminder of the enormous cultural influence of Sigmund Freud, analysing the great analyst to reflect on who he was, why he did what he did, and the impact he made.
David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
