The result is a remarkable series of studies on individual and social anxiety, racism and nationalism, and crisis management.\nFirst examining early twentieth century Zurich and the first practitioners of psychoanalysis--Freud, C.G. Jung, Karl\nAbraham, and others--to establish the discipline's understanding of the unconscious and how it functions, Loewenberg then explores the tensions in the lives and politics of modern political leaders. The great British\nLiberal Prime Minister Walther Rathenau, and the Russian fascist demagogue Vladimir Zhirinovsky are among those studied.\nIn each of these interconnected essays, Fantasy and Reality in History makes readily evident the advantages, and unique insights, that psychoanalytical techniques can provide in the examination of history. Loewenberg's blend of clinical and historico-political methods not only produces new exciting research, but demonstrates how it is done.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869429772507,"sku":"9780195067637-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ba5b198b-592b-44e0-9d96-61806b708418.jpg?v=1781282355","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780195067637-secondhand-fantasy-and-reality-in-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
