1. 1. Freud

   Inventor of the Modern Mind

   

   A concise, evenhanded biography of the founder of psychoanalysis that follows his journey from fin-de-siècle Vienna to wartime exile, charts the development of theories about the unconscious, dreams, sexuality, and childhood, and recounts key cases, alliances, and schisms that shaped a movement. Balancing critique with appreciation, it scrutinizes scientific claims and ethical lapses while explaining the enduring cultural impact of his narratives and why his ideas still influence how we understand personality, suffering, and modern life.
