Reviews

'Lizaveta van Munsteren’s new study provides important new insights. This thoughtful, well researched book will interest anyone concerned with the history of ‘the talking cure’, and the politics of the human sciences in the Soviet empire.' Daniel Pick, professor emeritus, Birkbeck, University of London; training analyst, the British Psychoanalytical Society 'This comprehensive and thorough study by Lizaveta van Munsteren illustrates how Freudian ideas were denied and removed in the Soviet Union. The book then effectively describes the 'return of the repressed'. Psychoanalysis re-emerged in the work of great and unforgettable figures in the history of Soviet psychology.' Alberto Angelini, psychoanalyst, Sapienza University, National Film School (CSC), Rome, Italy
