Freud, Biologist of the Mind Beyond the Psychoanalytic Legend

From the Back Cover: " In this monumental intellectual biography, Dr. Frank Sulloway demonstrates that Freud always remained, despite his denials, a 'biologist of the mind,' and, indeed, that his most creative inspirations derived significantly from biology. Dr. Sulloway analyzes the political aspects of the complex myth of Freud as 'psychoanalytic hero' as it served to consolidate the psychoanalytic movement. This is a revolutionary reassessment of Freud and psychoanalysis that has generated considerable excitement both here and abroad."
