Discover the book Revolution in Mind

Revolution in Mind is a scholarly book by George Makari that examines the history of the origin and formation of psychoanalysis and the broader intellectual context of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It offers readers a perspective on how ideas about the human psyche developed and what role contemporary scientific, cultural, and social influences played in that process.

If you are interested in the history of psychology, the development of psychotherapeutic schools, or the intellectual history of the modern era, this publication may be a suitable choice. The book focuses on explaining key concepts, figures, and debates associated with the beginnings of psychoanalytic thought, rather than providing instructions for personal change.

Revolution in Mind can serve as an engaging guide for readers who want to better understand where some influential ideas about the human mind originated and how they gradually established themselves in both professional and public spheres.
