Beyond the Psychoanalytic Legend
Book • 2001
In this monumental intellectual biography, Frank J. Sulloway demonstrates that Freud's most creative inspirations derived significantly from biology.

The book exposes historical distortions and myths surrounding Freud's work, providing a new and comprehensive understanding of Freud and the origins of psychoanalysis.
