Wilhelm Stekel was a pioneering psychoanalyst whose prodigious intuition and medical skill, permitted him to compile, study, and interpret the case histories of thousands of patients. He was in a hurry: Cataclysmic World War II events were besetting him, and a grave illness he well understood was hewing at his gaunt, proud figure. Calmly, but with intense speed, he prepared his record, the culmination of which can be seen within this text. Diligently organised and reproduced by Emil A. Gutheil, this fascinating autobiography of the seminal Austrian psychologist is a must-read for anyone interested in the development of psychoanalysis. Chapters include: "Childhood", "University Days", "Practising Medicine", "Introduction to Freud and Psychoanalysis", "The Break with Freud", "Practising Psychoanalysis", "A Trip to America", "Travel on The Continent", etcetera. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian psychologist and physician.
