| Summary |
"This volume evaluates the impact of Freud on the 20th century, and the contributors speak concerning the place of Freud in the life and thought of our era. Arranged by the editor into a six-part panel, these thoughts are presented as an historic contribution to our understanding of our natures and destinies, and to the help of psychoanalysis and its creator in exploring them, as we move unsteadily into a new millennium. No contributor denies Freud's central importance for the way we have come to view man and the world, and none would minimize his prime contribution to the achievement of a technique for the healing of mental ills. To the editor at least, one question seems to run through the present symposium like a haunting obbligato: Will the Twentieth Century go down in history as the Freudian century?"--Preface.
