Sigmund Freud

The Question of Lay Analysis

With a biographical introduction by Peter Gay

Freud believed that a medical education was not necessarily useful to, and might even impede, the psychoanalyst, but he met strenuous resistance among his followers, particularly in the United States. In The Question of Lay Analysis he set forth his views on the issue. The book makes its point energetically and in addition serves as an informal popularization of psychoanalytic ideas. AUTHORBIO
