"'Makari has written nothing less than a history of the modern mind... With an astounding breadth of knowledge and an unprecedented gift for synthesis, he takes the reader on a European journey that begins in the late nineteenth century and ends in the cataclysm of the Second World War... Revolution in Mind is moving story of what we lost when the old world went up in flames' - Paul Auster 'George Makari has provided a powerful synthesis that firmly roots psychoanalysis in intellectual and social history. The result is a highly readable, exciting adventure story with many unexpected turns. A definitive interpretation of psychoanalysis as a movement, a perspective, and a field, Revolution in Mind is destined to be a classic. A magisterial and towering achievement' - Jack D Barchas, M.D., Psychiatrist-in-Chief at Weill Cornell Medical College, member of the Institute for Medicine and former Dean of Neuroscience at U.C.L.A 'Revolution in Mind is an extraordinary book, quite unlike anything else that has been written... Makari's book will be the authoritative history on the making of Freudian psychoanalysis.' - Lawrence, Friedman, M.D., Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and Psychoanalytic Quarterly 'There have been many books regarded as "histories" of psychoanalysis. This new and fundamental work by George Makari is different and unique... This book marks a nodal point in the history of the history of psychoanalysis... If one wants to know how psychoanalysis came to be, this is the place to begin.' - Robert Michels, M.D., Training and Supervising analyst at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and the Walsh McDermott University Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at Cornell University 'Makari possesses the deep requisite knowledge of the history, philosophy, and of course, the subject matter of psychoanalysis to carry out just such an examination of the roots of the Freudians. He has here accomplished that, perhaps for the first time anyone has done so, to an exemplary, satisfying, and most enjoyable degree.' - Mitchell J. Feigenbaum, Ph.D., founder of chaos theory, MacArthur Fellow and Toyota Professor at Rockefeller University"
Makari answers two fundamental questions: How did Freudian theory come together as a body of ideas, and how did these ideas attract followers who spread this model of the mind throughout the West? Makari contextualises Freud's early psychological work amid the great changes occurring in late-19th century European science, philosophy, and medicine, showing how Freud was a creative, inter-disciplinary synthesizer whose immersion in pre-existing domains of study led to the creation of Freudian Theory.He looks at how Freud's followers built a heterogeneous movement in the years leading to 1914, at the growth of the movement, and its subsequent collapse with the departures of Bleuler, Jung, and Adler. Finally, Makari examines the critical, but neglected, Weimar period, when there was an attempt to rebuild a more pluralistic psychoanalytic community, a reformation that resulted in psychoanalysis's broader theoretical reach and greater acceptance across the Western world outside Europe, where the rise of fascism led to the destruction of psychoanalysis and the culture that once sustained it." Revolution in Mind" stands alone as the first historical work to seriously study the central dilemmas that defined, organised, and disrupted this would-be science of the psyche during its formation.
