5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent intro but warning on book production
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
For a basic introduction on Freudian psychology and psychoanalysis this is an excellent text. In clarity and breadth this can't be beat. It does focus on what might be described as pre-1950 state of the field. This is not necessarily a problem since historical Freudian psychoanalysis is the foundation of the field, regardless of its appropriate and meaningful expansion by the great theorists that would follow Freud. Next books, besides actual primary texts of the theorists, including Freud, would be Bateman's Introduction to Psychoanalysis; Mitchell and Black's Freud and Beyond; the Blanck's Ego Psychology: Theory and Practice; Greenberg and Mitchell's Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory; MacKinnon's The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice; and to crown, the Nancy McWilliam's books, starting with Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, Psychoanalytic Case Formulation, and Psychoanalystic Psychotherapy. The McWilliam's books are masterly and current, immediately applicable to clinical practice and research, and includes as well her gift of annotated references and bibliography based on her lifetime of study and reading. They are a milestone/foundation stone in writing on psychoanalytic practice.

One warning: Sadly, the Brenner text is produced on paper the substance of toilet paper. It tears at pen underlining, and at a cost of 15 dollars! Amazing price for such a cheaply produced book. Best to get a used copy somewhere with no doubt stronger paper for notation and underlining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than only Dr. Freud!

First time read in 1980s in psychoanalytic theory course. It is filled with well organized, easily understood information presented in a chronological fashion. Not a textbook per se but a book filled with so much data that now on my third read, even decades apart, it is as rich to me as it was the first time around. Do not let the title intimidate, may it seduce and challenge you to read it. So much more taken in on each successive read. A must for anyone trying to better understand self/others!

5.0 out of 5 stars フロイトの精神分析の入門書として、素晴らしい本と思います。
Reviewed in Japan on March 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
フロイトの著作は、たくさん、あって、最初は、とっつきにくく、感じていましたが、この本と並行して、勉強すると、フロイトの著作の中の、彼の唱えた概念が、全て、繋がるように、解って来た気が、します。カレン-ホルナイやメラニー-クラインの本よりも、良い本と自分は感じました。比較する事は、意味が、ないのかも知れませんが、内容の明解さ、に感銘を受けています。
