About the book: 2005 / A detailed biography and at the same time an in-depth study of the work of Sigmund Freud, compiled by his attending physician, friend and like-minded person. Max Schur presents to readers not only a deeply suffering patient, but also a man of enormous spiritual strength and endurance, for whom even his own suffering served as material for scientific research. The book is valuable not only for the impressions of an eyewitness, but also for the extensive correspondence of Freud cited in it, accompanied by exhaustive comments.
