Summary

Schwartz answers the accusation that this theory is unscientific and therefore unreliable by drawing together the great events of the century and the theoretical shifts and developments of psychoanalysis to describe the attempts of the last 100 years to understand the workings of the subjective mind.

Cassandra's Daughter by Joseph Schwartz

This work presents a complete history of psychoanalysis from its origins in 19th-century medical science to the end of the 20th century. The origins of psychoanalysis as well as the more immediate influences on Freud are explored, as is the way the discipline he founded has developed and changed. The influence of psychoanalysis spreads far beyond psychotherapy and Joe Schwartz shows the way it has effected literature, criticism and feminism and medicine.
Joseph Schwartz is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and writer and is the author of Einstein for Beginners. He has had appointments in physics and psychiatry at Columbia University and the City University of New York. Since 1983, he has had a clinical practice in London.

Michael McGuinness is the coauthor of Einstein for Beginners with Joseph Schwartz and Introducing Jung with Maggie Hyde.
