About this ebook
"Janet Malcom has managed somehow to peer into the reticent, reclusive world of psychoanalysis and to report to us, with remarkable fidelity, what she has seen. When I began reading I thought condescendingly, 'She will get the facts right, and everything else wrong.' She does get the facts right, but far more pressive, she has been able to capture and convey the claustral atmosphere of the profession. Her book is journalism become art." —Joseph Andelson, The New York Times Book Review

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good, if a bit dated, overview of contemporary Freudian psychoanalytic practice in New York in the late 70s, early 80s. The book interweaves a history of the field, its state in New York in the 70s, and reflections on a series of interview with one Aaron Green, a pseudonymous NYC Freudian psychoanalyst.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful book. Malcolm begins with an introduction to her principal source, a psychoanalyst she calls Aaron Green, and quickly moves on to a general introduction to the science of psychoanalysis. This short history of the field is marvellously written, and designed to be memorable so that the author can rely on the terms she has introduced later. More people should write this way - by giving the reader a comprehensive grounding in the vernacular early on, the latter portions of the book can go deeper, penetrating the surface in a way that many other writers shy away from.
