Marshall, New York Times Book Review Freud himself asked why psychoanalysis had to be created by a 'completely godless Jew.' Gay elegantly and convincingly answers his question.-Choice It is an important and welcome contribution to the vast literature that already exists on Freud and the movement that he founded.-Lee Dembart, Los Angeles Times Published in association with the Hebrew Union College Press
