Freud and the Institution of Psychoanalytic Knowledge

Wisconsin Bookwatch:
"In Freud and the Institution of Psychoanalytic Knowledge: Cultural Memory in the Present, Sarah Winter blends literary studies and historical sociology to provide a ground breaking cultural history of the strategies Sigmund Freud employed in his writings and career. . . . [It] is highly recommended, thought-provoking reading for students of psychology, psychoanalysis, and the history of medicine."

Bulletin of the History of Medicine:
"[Winter's] task (well done!) is to study how we explain ourselves—specifically, the causes and consequences of Freud's way. . . . Winter gives clarity its due, integrating her materials and arguments carefully, crossing discipinary lines adroitly, and helping the readers with summaries pro re nata. . . . This book is a fine example of interdisciplinary scholarship."

J. Hillis Miller:
"Winter's book is learned, original, forcefully written, and powerfully argued."
