Book Synopsis
This text argues that psychoanalysis is not just a theory of psychic conflict: it is a thought in conflict with itself. This is a study of Freud's defences of psychoanalysis and the conflicts into which psychoanalytic theory has been drawn.

Trade Review
"The Legend of Freud is a fine example of what can be done with Freud's texts when philosophical and literary approaches converge, and you leave the couch in the other room. . . . Weber is brilliantly imaginative, respectful of his subject and his readers, and productive of new ideas." -- Village Voice Literary Supplement
