Sigmund Freud - His Biography

American writer Peter Gay has masterfully written an unconventional, comprehensive biography of Sigmund Freud that is both believable and credible.

Freud is depicted as a complex individual who constantly challenges himself and is plagued with doubt, yet eagerly seeks the approval of friends who he ultimately alienates.

Gay portrays Freud as a diligent and determined scholar, who faced intense criticism but also received significant recognition in his later years. He highlights Freud's roles as a student, psychiatrist, lover, family man, husband, discoverer, friend, Jew, and both a victim and victor. Using new letters and documents, Gay allows Freud to speak for himself, resulting in an incredibly accurate depiction.
