Sommario/riassunto

Dimensions of Psychoanalysis contains a selection of the Freud Memorial Lectures delivered by eminent British, French and American



analysts at University College in the University of London. Together the papers form a powerful presentation of contemporary psychoanalytic thought, both Freudian and post-Freudian, in its relation to the profession itself and to the wider disciplines of sociology, the natural sciences and literature.
