Janet Malcolm: In the Freud Archives

It was a year ago since I read ' In the Freud Archives,' but from what I remember of the book, it was an interesting read. The books tells of Freud's life long difficulties ranging from queries about some of his patients, correspondence with the fellow psychoanalysts: K.R. Eissler and Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson to escaping the World War by moving
to the United Kingdom and finally, the development of his legacy; his life work.

This books takes a little bit of advances reading and understanding considering the complexity of psychoanalysis in itself. However, for those wanted to investigate who Freud was, this is a great start as back ground reading.
