Very Good: See photos as they are part of the item description depicting the actual item that you will receive. "In a disarming opening statement, Paul Roazen notes that 'one element in the appeal of Freud remains the same: it is appallingly easy to be original on this whole subject.' The magic of this volume is the author's involvement in both self-analysis and critical analysis at the same time. The title refers not to any specific meeting with Freud, but with the author's intellectual encounters with the subject over the past two decades... The book includes a brilliant essay on Freud and the question of psychoanalysis's contribution to radical thought in contrast to the conservative tradition... Roazen concludes with a series of explorations on the dichtomies Freud left behind: clinical discoveries versus philosophical standpoints; the relationship of normality to nihilism; a defense of therapeutic setting resting on the assistance of trained specialists versus a therapeutic approach encouraging self-expression." $7.95 USPS Media Mail shipping.
