The Discovery of the Unconscious

In this monumental work, one of psychiatry's most distinguished writers traces man's search for an understanding of the inner reaches of the mind from ancient times to the present. In an account that is both exhaustive and exciting, he demonstrates how exorcists gave way to magnetism and hypnotism; how Freud succeeded in incorporating dynamic psychiatry into his psychological system; how Janet laid the groundwork for Adler's depth psychology; and finally, how Jung proved that Freud was neither infallible nor complete.
