Brinich PsycCRITIQUES Danto's meticulously researched year-by-year account of the spread of these psychoanalytic clinics focuses on Freud's pioneering, idealistic, socially committed side. -- Christopher Turner London Review of Books A crucial corrective to the view of psychoanalysis as politically inert and socially disengaged. Choice Danto's book is inspiring in highlighting how a generation of analysts sought to grasp the sources of human misery. -- Ritchie Robertson Times Literary Supplement A must read for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and progressive social responsibility.
