Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. From the publisher : This volume brings together for the first time the most important essays of the great psychoanalyst's career through three decades - 24 magnificent essays ranging over the entire spectrum of his concerns, from his earliest writings about the Nazi experience to his famous New Yorker polemic on Lina Wertmüller's Seven Beauties; from the education of children to the sexual revolution. A large section of the book is devoted to the holocaust and its effects on those who survived. Dr. Bettelheim writes about Eichmann, about the ignored lesson of Anne Frank, about schizophrenia as a reaction to extreme situa tions, and about other aspects of the Nazi years and their legacy. There are pieces on growing up female, on privacy, on art and art education, on the deci sion to fail, on alienation, on contemporary youth, on modern sexuality (his hilarious take off on Portnoy's Complaint), on the psycho logical allure of totalitarianism, on violence itself. These essays chart Bruno Bettelheim's profound and caring vision of man and society, of ourselves at our best and worst. Their appear ance at last in book form will be greeted as a major event.
