Publisher's Summary:

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Freud was born to Galician Jewish parents in the Moravian town of Freiberg, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He qualified as a doctor of medicine in 1881 at the University of Vienna. Upon completing his habilitation in 1885, he was appointed a docent in neuropathology and became an affiliated professor in 1902. Freud lived and worked in Vienna, having set up his clinical practice there in 1886. In 1938 he left Austria to escape the Nazis and died in exile in the United Kingdom the following year.

In creating psychoanalysis, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of compulsive repetition, hate, aggression, and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud developed a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture.

Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy, and across the humanities. As such, it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status, and whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause.

Informative

Learning about Dr Stork' s background gave added stability to my confidence in him. In addition, I found some insight with regard to artificial sweeteners and their effect which was noteworthy. This book, however, felt like a tease and possibly a ploy (whether true or not) to encourage additional purchases. More substantive information would have made this excellent in my opinion.

Not what I was looking for

More of a definition about what "doctor" means and what it takes to become a doctor.

Some history about how Dr Storm has excelled.

Title: Labyrinths

Subtitle: Emma Jung, Her Marriage to Carl and the Early Years of Psychoanalysis

Author: Catrine Clay

Narrator: Karen Cass

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-11-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

The story of Emma and Carl Jung's highly unconventional marriage, their relationship with Freud and their part in the early years of psychoanalysis.

Emma Jung was clever, ambitious and immensely wealthy, one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland when, aged 17, she met and fell in love with Carl Jung, a handsome, penniless medical student. Determined to share his adventurous life and to continue her own studies, she was too young to understand Carl's complex personality or conceive the dramas that lay ahead.

Labyrinths tells the story of the Jungs' unconventional marriage and their friendship and, following publication of Jung's The Psychology of the Unconscious, subsequent rift with Freud. It traces Jung's development of word association, notions of the archetype, the collective unconscious, the concepts of extraversion and introversion and the role played by both Carl and Emma in the early development of the scandalous new psychoanalysis movement.

In its many twists and turns, the Jung marriage was indeed labyrinthine, and Emma was forced to fight with everything she had to come to terms with Carl's brilliant, complex character and to keep her husband close to her. His belief in polygamy led to many extramarital affairs, including a ménage a trois with a former patient, Toni Wolff, that lasted some 30 years. But the marriage endured, and Emma realised her ambition to become a noted analyst in her own right.

Critic Reviews:

Praise for Trautman's Journey:

"Brilliant." (Observer)

"A minor masterpiece." (Independent)

"A truly remarkable story uncovered with immense skill." (Daily Telegraph)

"Fascinating." (Mail on Sunday)

"Sober, detailed, well-told account." (Guardian)

Members Reviews:

Emma's labyrinthine marriage to Carl the Colussus

Emma Rauschenbach, a very wealthy Swiss heiress, was only 17 when Carl Jung, a far from well-off doctor of the insane from a peasant background, first proposed to her. Emma's father was suffering hideously from the syphilis which would eventually kill him, and her mother, ashamed of this dark family secret, encouraged her in the match. Their truly labyrinthine marriage lasted 52 years and weathered Carl's many affairs as well as a 30-year menage-a-trois with the overbearing Toni Wolff who was required by Jung as his 'anima' and suffered by Emma for his sake. Emma bore five children and then retired to another bedroom dreading yet another 'little blessing'; pursued her own research on The Holy Grail in particular; maintained her friendship with Sigmund Freud after he and Jung fell out, and eventually became a highly respected psychoanalyst in her own right. That's some achievement!

Carl Jung was not the easiest of men, apart from his need for other women and his habit of going off on long travels on his own leaving Emma alone with her new-borns. Jung was two personalities. There was the kind, tender Carl whom Emma had grown to love, and there was 'personality number 2' who was rude, neurotic and callous. Personality 1 could tell delightful funny stories to his children; personality 2 could flip in a moment into a destructive and hurtful rage.

Eureka!: 50 Scientists Who Shaped Human History

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Thanks to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the opportunity to read and review Eureka!: 50 Scientists Who Shaped Human History! This book is full of insights into scientific pioneers both professional and personal. From B.C. to modern times, details explaining theories and interesting tidbits of each scientist fill this easy to read informational book - 4 stars!

Biographies of Pythagoras, Galileo, Darwin, Curie, Hawking, Hippocrates, Newton, Pasteur, Einstein, Turing...

XXXXX

Can you name these people (*answers at the end of this review)? If you canât, then maybe you know what they have in common:

(1) âVictim of a lynch mob, the greatest female mathematician/philosopher of the ancient world.â

(2) âThe Hungarian physician whose discovery of the importance of hospital hygiene has saved countless millions of lives.â

(3) âThe great Austrian physicist who was also the progenitor of a famous hypothetical cat.â

(4) âA brilliant experimenter who revealed the mysteries of electromagnetism and the fraudulence of spirit mediums.â

(5) âThe U.S. atmospheric scientist who alerted the world to the dangers of climate change.â

What these five people have in common is that their biographies all found in this informative and easy-to-read book by John Grant. He is a prolific author of fiction and non-fiction books.

In this book, Grant offers vivid biographies of fifty important people (in order of birth) who have helped humanity understand our universe in some way. He does not focus just on their ideas and breakthroughs that made them so important but also on their lives and their various quirks.

The author realizes that his list is âa matter of personal judgementâ and that some readers may object to certain inclusions and omissions. Thatâs O.K. However, I did find that if you removed any of the people on Grantâs list, the wonderful story of science would probably be a different story.

Throughout this book, are black and white pictures of most of those people on the authorâs list. As well, at the beginning of each biography is a summary of the person being profiled. I have given five of these summaries above. At the end of each biography, thereâs a âBut thereâs moreââ section that gives that lists interesting facts about the person being profiled and gives suggestions for further reading.

This bookâs subtitle is â50 scientists who shaped human history.â Actually, this is not quite true.

Riepilogo Editore:

Se volete sapere la vera storia di Alan Turing, che per comodità definiremo "l'uomo che ha inventato il (nostro) futuro" dobbiamo ricorrere a un mito del cinema e a uno della letteratura molto più che a codici ed equazioni. Il primo, 2001 Odissea nello spazio di Stanley Kubrick è la preistoria del futuro che stiamo vivendo adesso. Il secondo mito lo dobbiamo a Philip Dick e il suo "Blade Runner" che è il presente da cui ci stiamo allontanando per andare verso un innominabile ignoto. Infine, Turing ci ha permesso di entrare nel labirinto della sua mente, attraverso un terzo mito, il capolavoro di Walt Disney "Biancaneve e i sette nani". Andava a vederlo tutti i giorni e canticchiava in modo ossessivo il motivetto della strega eccitata davanti al bollore funesto del calderone che deve contagiare la mela rossa con il veleno del sonno eterno.

Quando morì aveva 41 anni e molti progetti che forse avrebbero cambiato il mondo. Subito dopo quell'8 giugno, qualcuno cominciò a pensare che i Servizi segreti di Sua Maestà, avessero generosamente contribuito alla sua scomparsa, ma la verità, ammesso che ce ne sia una, è molto più affascinante e misteriosa.

Regia di Ugo Leonzio.

Publisher's Summary:

Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, he was ranked as one of the 10 greatest physicists of all time.

He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He held the Richard C. Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology.

Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom", and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?

Members Reviews:

A very short overview...

This was merely a cliffs notes version of a biography

Read other works on Feynman instead.

The reader was fine.

If I had noticed it's length I would not have bought it!
