Reviews

Mourning Freud is a beautifully written book in which Sprengnether respectfully, intelligently develops penetrating critiques of Freud's work-particularly in the areas of pre-Oedipal development, mourning, and female psychology-not for the purpose of dismissing Freud, but for the purpose of revising and extending some of his most pivotal ideas. This is a book that leaves the reader feeling that he or she has not simply listened to a writer in the act of thinking; instead, the reader feels that he or she has had the privilege of taking part in a remarkable conversation. * Thomas Ogden, psychoanalyst and author of Reclaiming Unlived Life: Experiences in Psychoanalysis (2016) *
