Features: In this book, the author attempts to combine psychoanalysis, biography, and history, aiming to create a new trend that demonstrates an epoch-making original concept of dialectical exploration between the macro historical context and the micro individual life. This book can be considered a large-scale biographical history that integrates the individual, social, political, cultural, and psychological aspects. It is comprehensive and vast in scope. Due to the large number of letters and manuscripts destroyed by Freud during his lifetime, the historical materials cited in this book are even more precious. The author has read almost all available materials related to Freud and convinced his descendants to allow him to reference some of the remaining Freudian letters, thereby completely reconstructing Freud's life and his academic journey. After reading this book, readers not only gain an understanding of Freud as a person but also get a glimpse into the true nature of psychoanalysis.
