The entire raison d' tre for this mental health historical reader of the "paper of record," The New York Times, is to give the reader a window on the past and to include the reader on a journey of a time long ago. What people come away with when, they see the original articles written by and about Sigmund Freud or his famous "psychanalysis" as well as the many other issues we see in these pages, transports us to another time and place. This work of non-fiction contains powerful lessons for our world of today. It is essential reading for any serious student of the history of psychology, psychiatry, social work, or any allied mental health profession.
