description: "In addition to satisfying our natural and proper curiosity a biography of Freud should serve the purpose of aiding our understanding of Freud's science. Psychoanalysis is best comprehended not as a fully formulated system but rather as a developing idea in the mind of its discoverer. It is hard to imagine a better history of the development of Freud's idea or of the mind that conceived it than that which Dr. Jones has given us."--Lionel Trilling, New York Times Book Review, 10/11/53
