Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis

In this text, Otto Fenichel summarizes the first half century of psychoanalytic investigation into psychopathology and presents a general psychoanalytic theory of neurosis. For this anniversary edition, Leo Rangell has written an introduction that sets Fenichel's work in context. He sees Fenichel as a worthy heir to Freud; both men influenced their followers by what Rangell calls "the charisma of ideas".
