      abstract = {With all the intrigue and twists of a mystery, Questions  for Freud uncovers the paradoxes that riddle psychoanalysis  today and traces them to Freud's vacillation at key points  in his work--and from there to a traumatic event in Freud's  life. What role did censored family history play in shaping  Freud's psychological inquiries, promoting and impeding  them by turns? With this question in mind, Nicholas Rand  and Maria Torok develop a new biographical and conceptual  approach to psychoanalysis, one that outlines Freud's  contradictory theories of mental functioning against the  backdrop of his permanent lack of insight into crucial and  traumatic aspects of his immediate family's life. Taking us  through previously unpublished documents and Freud's  dreams, his clinical work and institutional organization,  the authors show how a shameful event in 1865 that shook  Freud and his family can help explain the internal clashes  that later beset his work--on the origins of neurosis,  reality, trauma, fantasy, sexual repression, the  psychoanalytic study of literature, and dream  interpretation. Steeped in the history, theory, and  practice of psychoanalysis, this book offers a guide to the  wary, a way of understanding the flaws and contradictions  of Freud's thought without losing sight of its  significance. This book will alter the terms of the current  debate about the standing of psychoanalysis and Freud.},
