FREUD: The Man and The Cause - Biography of Sigmund Freud | Library of Great Lives | Perfect for Psychology Students & History Enthusiasts

Ronald W. Clark's Freud: The Man and the Cause is a readable, workmanlike biography of Freud, originally published in 1980. Though it may not provide quite as much detail as some readers might wish for, it gives a good basic description of the main events of Freud's life. Clark makes an effort to provide a balanced account of Freud's work, and to try to find a middle road between uncritical acceptance of Freud's ideas and an unthinking and hostile rejection of them.
