More DescriptionThis book, featuring contributions from some of the world's most eminent Freud scholars, marks the fiftieth anniversary of Freud's arrival in London as an exile from occupied Austria--an event regarded by many as a decisive turning point in modern cultural history [or for psych. media: in the history of psychoanalysis].
