Going back to a time "before Freud" is as unimaginable as going
back to "before Newton." Freud gave us the keys to a new dimension
in the rational and scientific understanding of human beings,
including when they act in the most irrational way. These keys have
evolved and have been refined but we keep using them. But so far no
alternative has emerged to convincingly challenge the set of
understandings which we were given by Freud: namely, that each
individual has an inner world; that the (often repressed)
unconscious affects our well-being and our relations with others;
that our psyches are not whole but divided into parts which are
usually in conflict with each other; that humans tend toward
certain forms of motivated irrationality of which they have little
or no awareness; and that many of these insights also apply to
culture, society and politics. Freud's insights were relevant for
the political circumstances surrounding their creation. They are
still relevant today when once again we have to deal with
fundamentalist threats.
*Eva Nowotny, Austrian Ambassador to the United States*
At a time in which psychoanalysis is viewed as in "crisis,"
following a long wave of revisionist Freud scholarship, and with
the emergence of an entire discipline of "Freud Studies," it is
significant that major psychoanalytic associations have joined
together to reexamine Freud's legacy for the 21st century. This
collection of studies by leading scholars and clinicians who
represent diverse disciplines and traditions continues to raise
questions and increase curiosity about Freud's ingenious creation,
his legacy, and his relevance for our time.
*Lewis Aron, Ph.D., director, New York University Postdoctoral
Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis; former president,
Division of Psychoanal*
the book provides a refreshing variety of topics and styles that
offer something to the curious newcomer who knows little of Freud's
life or work and also to the more experienced student of psychology
interested in the most recent interpretations and applications of
his work....[a] thoughtful and balanced volume...

Freud at 150: 21st Century Essays on a Man of Genius is the
impressively informed and informative work arising from
contributions by many psychotherapy professionals who collectively
offer a modern outlook....Freud at 150 is an inspiring, gripping,
insightful, and educational look at one of the great minds of the
post.
*Midwest Book Review, November 2008*
The essays themselves make it clear that the impact of Freudian
thought continues in our contemporary life.
*Journal Of Clinical Psychiatry, August 2009*
Freud's insights have lost nothing of their significance for our
present time as was pointed out in many events organized in Austria
and abroad in 2006 to honor the 150th anniversary of his birth. I
was particularly intrigued by the Symposium "Freud's Place in Our
Minds: A Day of Reflection on Sigmund Freud's Significance in the
21st Century," the contribution to the Freud celebrations by the
four major U.S. psychoanalytic organizations. It is very gratifying
that the excellent presentations have been published. I hope that
this book will be inspiring for many readers as an effort to make
"the voice of reason" heard.
*Heinz Fischer, Federal President of the Republic of Austria*
Freud at 150 successfully represents a memorable event that brought
together professionals from the four major American psychoanalytic
organizations and beyond….Even the most well-versed Freud historian
will learn something new from these distinguished presenters. The
rarely seen pictures alone make it a worthy purchase. In closing,
any person interested in Sigmund Freud or psychoanalysis will
surely enjoy Freud at 150.
