Understanding Dissidence and Controversy in the History of Psychoanalysis

Nine papers from a February 2003 conference in New York City explore the history of psychoanalysis from the perspectives of dissidence and controversy. Teachers, practitioners, and administrators in the profession discuss such aspects as the importance of the underlying meanings of Freud’s hypothesis, the wise baby and the wild analyst, and the taboo on tenderness.
