Blurb: “An Elementary Textbook of PSYCHOANALYSIS, Charles Brenner, M.D.
This clear and comprehensive introduction to psychoanalysis is recommended by leaders in the field as the outstanding book for laymen and students.
"Among the great number of books on psychoanalysis published in our day, there are comparatively few which are comparable to Dr. Brenner's Elementary Textbook... Its outstanding feature is the extraordinary clarity with which a highly complex subject is communicated, without any essentials being sacrificed to the demands for popularization.... The author's personal thinking is omnipresent: in style, selection, evaluation, and integration. . .. The result is an introduction to psychoanalytic psychology that actually presupposes rather little familiarity with analysis on the side of the reader, but goes a long way toward giving him a comprehensive and well-reasoned grasp of the main contents and characteristics of psychoanalytic thought."
HEINZ HARTMANN, M.D.
President, International Psychoanalytic Association
"Brenner's book is not only an up-to-date introduction to the great complexities of psychoanalytic theory, but it takes the reader through the vicissitudes of Freud's thinking and through the evolution of recent dynamic and structural concepts....
This book in its lucid and forceful combination of simplicity and very advanced thinking will not only be an indispensable guide for students of psychoanalytic psychiatry and the behavioral sciences but will prove enlightening and stimulating for teachers and scientists in these fields."
