Book Synopsis

Sigmund Freudâs Inner Divisions shows how the limits of Freudâs theory are linked to his inner conflicts, particularly those relating to his father.

Ken Fuchsman undertakes a close reading of how what Freud wrote during self-analysis reflected his inner personal divisions. The book explores how Freudâs psychological divisions led to intellectual contradictions in his psychoanalytic doctrines, showing that the limits of his theory are rooted in inner conflicts that prevented his science of the unconscious from being truly comprehensive. It also considers how Freudâs ideas were shaped by his internal struggles, discoveries, and denials, revealing how these inner tensions permeated his psychoanalytic theories on experience, science, civilizationâs higher achievements, love, and even the Oedipus complex itself.

Sigmund Freudâs Inner Divisions will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to academics and scholars of the history of psychology, psychobiography, and intellectual history.
