Trade Review"Freud's Paranoid Quest is an exceptionally broad-ranging and well-written book...Whether or not one agrees with certain of his arguments and assessments, one must acknowledge the remarkable intelligence that is displayed on nearly every page." --Louis Sass author of Madness and Modernism and The Paradoxes of Delusion "John Farrell's Freud's Paranoid Quest is the most trenchant, exhilarating and illuminating book I have encountered in many years. [The book] should be pondered not just by all students of Freud's thought but by everyone who senses that 'advanced modernity' has by now outstayed its welcome." --Frederick Crews University of California, Berkeley
