Chicago, Illinois, U. S. A.: Ivan R Dee. New in New dust jacket. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. In this stimulating and original book, Martin Wain provides the first coherent view of the roots of Freudian psychoanalysis. He has written not an attack on Freud and his theories but an intellectual history of the highest order. In the new urban industrial age of the late 19th century, Wain shows that Freud and his colleagues were social, political, and economic therapists in the broadest sense. Their patient was modern Western culture at a time of disorder and maximum danger. The French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution had overturned the old order but had left the new masses of individuals on their own, lacking the certainties of the old life. Now that authority in the form of the king, the church and family had lost its power, the new liberal democracies needed new means of control. Freud and other pioneers of psychoanalysis provided the way. Their treatment - designed to preserve a form of government they found highly desirable - was a set of theoretical concepts and practices so effective that for a hundred years they held sway, powerfully affecting a myriad of endeavors. Includes notes, bibliography, and index. The top pages have a tiny ink mark on them - not a remainder mark. ; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall ., Ivan R Dee, 1998, 6, Ewing, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Princeton University Press, 1973. Trade Paperback.
