Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-30 00:00:00 Richard Hagan An Autobiographical Study lays emphasis on Freud's professional rather than personal life. It is a record of his accomplishments in the history of psychoanalysis, written in a dry, at times even sardonic tone. Considering, just as he himself acknowledges, he had been more open and franker in other of his writings, such as The Interpretation of Dreams , perhaps he saw no need of revisiting his inner growth. True enough, you will get a better sense of Freud's mind by reading The Interpretation… since he always pursued his own self-analysis in everything he wrote. After all, "I am my most important patient," as he is often quoted. He calls Jung and Adler heretics. I imagine he called them a lot worse…

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-14 00:00:00 Nancy Rosborough "I was thus led into regarding the neuroses as being without exception disturbances of the sexual function, the so-called 'actual neuroses' being the direct toxic expression of such disturbances and the psychoneuroses their mental expression. My medical conscience felt pleased at my having arrived at this conclusion" hahaha, bless him.
