Freud and the Post-Freudians - J. A. C. Brown

Sigmund Freud transformed the study of the human mind, but his ideas were only the beginning. In Freud and the Post-Freudians, psychologist J. A. C. Brown explores how Freud's theories evolved through the work of the thinkers who followed him, introducing influential figures such as Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Karen Horney and Melanie Klein. It's a fascinating look at how one revolutionary body of thought branched into a wide range of competing schools and perspectives.

Clear, balanced and refreshingly free of unnecessary jargon, Brown examines where Freud's successors agreed with him, where they broke away, and how their ideas reshaped modern psychology. Whether you're interested in psychoanalysis, personality, dreams or the history of psychological thought, this Pelican Original offers an engaging introduction to one of the twentieth century's most influential intellectual movements.
