Sulloway's Freud: Biologist of the Mind sets the record straight with formidable scholarly precision. Sulloway argues that Freud was not merely the founding father of psychoanalysis but a deeply biological thinker whose theories were rooted in the evolutionary science of his era, particularly the work of Darwin and Fliess. Peeling back decades of hagiography and institutional myth, the book reconstructs the intellectual and scientific milieu that shaped Freud's revolutionary ideas, revealing a thinker far more complex — and far more indebted to biology — than the psychoanalytic legend suggests.\n\nSulloway's meticulous, revisionist scholarship challenges the orthodox Freudian narrative with evidence drawn from previously neglected historical sources, repositioning psychoanalysis within the broader history of nineteenth-century science. The prose is rigorous yet compelling, carrying the weight of a landmark academic argument without sacrificing readability. Winner of numerous awards and described as a watershed in the scholarship of Freud by New Scientist, this is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand not just Freud, but the very origins of modern psychology — and what the legend deliberately chose to conceal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130605150427,"sku":"2026200009877-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d89086fa-6893-47ff-bc52-864c228d98cd.png?v=1786587410","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009877-secondhand-freud-biologist-of-the-mind-beyond-the-psychoanalytic-legend","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
