Review
`For some two decades, Ilse Grubrich-Simitis has been a leading - probably the leading - student of Freud. Her readings of the fundamental texts of psychoanalysis are exemplary: they have successfully established what is in them and should help to correct what Freud bashers `claim' is in them, two very different things. In addition to her impeccable scholarship, she brings to bear a solid quantity of good sense which invites, almost compels, assent.' -
