Bücher der Reihe Routledge Library Editions: Freud

Originally published in 1972, this second edition, first published in 1981 was fully revised and updated to cover recent developments in the field. It was written to answer many questions and criticisms surrounding psychoanalysis at the time.Much work had been carried out at the time to discover which parts of Freudian theory are verifiable and which insupportable by experiment. In this book Dr Kline surveys this vast body of work. For some of the theories, it will be seen, there is no evidence whatsoever; for others, on the other hand, there is impressive and sometimes incontrovertible experimental support ¿ for example, for the theory of repression.
