Do we know the circumstances that led them to Freud's consulting room, or how they fared--how they \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e fared--following their treatments? And what of those patients about whom Freud wrote nothing, or very little: Pauline Silberstein, who threw herself from the fourth floor of her analyst's building; Elfriede Hirschfeld, Freud's \"grand-patient\" and \"chief tormentor;\" the fashionable architect Karl Mayreder; the psychotic millionaire Carl Liebmann; and so many others? In an absorbing sequence of portraits, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen offers the stories of these men and women--some comic, many tragic, all of them deeply moving. In total, thirty-eight lives tell us as much about Freud's clinical practice as his celebrated case studies, revealing a darker and more complex Freud than is usually portrayed: the doctor as his patients, their friends, and their families saw him.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA philosopher by training, \u003cb\u003eMikkel Borch-Jacobsen\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of comparative literature at the University of Washington and a leading theorist and historian of psychoanalysis and psychiatry.
