Summary

In "Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex," Sigmund Freud presents a groundbreaking exploration of human sexuality, which he deftly weaves into his broader psychoanalytic theories. This seminal work delves into the complexities of sexual identity, desire, and the developmental stages of human sexuality, challenging prevailing notions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Freud's literary style is both rigorous and provocative, employing a combination of clinical case studies, theoretical discourse, and philosophical musings, all while grounding his arguments in the emerging field of psychoanalysis. The book stands as a pivotal moment in the literary context of sexual discourse and the psychology of the human mind, reshaping societal views on sexuality and its implications for mental health. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was profoundly influenced by the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time, marked by rapid advances in science, philosophy, and the arts. His clinical practice, coupled with his own introspective examinations, prompted a re-evaluation of the role of sex in human behavior and identity. Struggling against societal taboos, Freud's inquiry into sexuality reveals the intricate interplay between the unconscious mind and social norms, driving his desire to shed light on the often-ignored aspects of human experience. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of psychoanalytic thought and the evolution of sexual theory. Freud's insights remain relevant today, offering profound understandings that resonate within contemporary debates on sexuality, identity, and mental health. Readers will find themselves challenged and enriched as they engage with Freud's compelling arguments and pioneering perspective.

"Anyone out there struggling to navigate mental illness should read this thoughtful book."—Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of the Kennedy Forum 
“Pat, we need to kill the dog.” A chill ran down Patrick Dylan’s spine as his wife spoke—psychosis had found their family again. 
When a sudden mental illness struck his wife, Patrick Dylan found himself living with an eerie stranger. Scared and unprepared, he began a desperate battle to protect her from a mysterious disease, shelter their children from her bizarre behavior, and recover the woman he loved. 
For years, Patrick and Mia Dylan enjoyed an intimate marriage that exemplified partnership. They worked together to create a loving home for their two children, enjoyed a close relationship with their extended family, and offered mutual support during hard times. But on the morning of Mia’s thirty-ninth birthday, everything changed. 
Within weeks, she had been admitted to the emergency room, the hospital, and the local crisis facility, but none of the experts could provide an answer. As her illness eluded diagnosis, the family’s struggle was only beginning. A brave memoir in the tradition of Brain on Fire, Dylan’s Safe, Wanted, and Loved is a compassionate, honest, and gripping account of a family navigating mental illness.

    The Shortest History of Greece -...

    Philosophy, art, democracy, language, even computers—the glories of Greek civilization have shaped our world even more profoundly than we realize. Pericles and the Parthenon may be familiar, but what of Epaminondas, the Theban general who saved the Greek world from Spartan tyranny? Alexander the Great's fame has rolled down the centuries, but the golden Hellenistic Age that followed is largely forgotten. "Byzantine" conjures decadence and deadly intrigue, yet the thousand-year empire that ruled from Constantinople and saved Europe twice from invasion was, in fact, Greek. 
 
 
 
Greece's modern chapter, too, tells of triumph and calamity—from liberation and expansion to schism, homegrown dictatorship, Nazi occupation, and civil war. Today's nation is battered by austerity, encroaching climate change, and a refugee crisis—yet unwavering in its ancient values. 
 
 
 
James Heneage captures the full Grecian drama in this riveting, short history, revealing Greece as the wellspring of Western civilization—and a model that may yet save modern democracy.
