Now, more than ever, this revised and updated edition is an essential reference work for understanding psychoanalysis.

First published in 1997 by Fayard, this exhaustive dictionary provides entries on the history, theories, and practice of psychoanalysis, including concepts, key figures (theorists, practitioners, clinical cases, intellectuals, and artists), schools, and histories by country, as well as disorders, treatments, and alternative therapies. A wealth of cross-references, a comprehensive bibliography, an index, and a historical timeline of psychoanalysis worldwide from its inception up through the present day are also featured in this impressive volume.
