Ferenc Shandor

A book about the life and work of Shandor Ferenci (1873-1933), one of the pioneers of psychoanalysis, which was a student, a patient, another and trusted face of Sigmund Freud, was written by a real member of the Parisian psychoanalytic society, a famous historian of the psychoanalytic movement of Thierry Bokanovski. On the material of the biography and analysis of fruitful theoretical and clinical activities of Ferini, the author convincingly and comprehensively shows his innovative contribution to the formation and development of ideas of psychoanalysis. The excerpts given at the end of the book from a number of major works of Ferens demonstrate such distinguishing features such as the courage and originality of the mind, the absence of dogmatism and poetic inspiration
