Freud and Beyond: A History of Modern Psychoanalytic Thought by Stephen A. Mitchell

1.0

It seems very interesting to me that a lot of people have called this book quite 'accessible', personally I though it was almost unreadable. 'Did not like it' is quite an understatement. Most of the descriptions are very abstract and it seems to me that the writer had trouble organizing the content into a coherent whole, for me it lacks structure and clarity. I had no trouble at all putting it down, on the contrary, it was a struggle every time to pick it up again. I don't experience this often when reading. Additionally, most of my classmates had the same opinion about the book. Therefore I was really surprised that most GoodReads reviews were so positive.
