Conflict and Dream by W.H.R. Rivers, 1st edition 1922, a VERY RARE bookHarcourt, Brace and CompanyHardcover. Condition: VeryGood. 196 pp. Very good copyof scarce and VERY RARE First Edition in English. Dr. W.H.R. Rivers was the most accomplished and scholarly of Freud's critics. His untimely death removed from him from the arena of psychoanalytic controversy. Early Psychoanalysis attracted an enormous amount of criticism, but very strangely only in exceptional and rare instances did the criticism come from persons who were both judicially minded and well informed. Dr. Rivers was one of these exceptional individuals and he presented in this book, which was published posthumously and not carefully revised by him, a careful and detailed criticism of the psychoanalytic viewpoint, particularly that of Freud and his followers, and his own interpretation of dreams , offering his own material to make his points. Very briefly, the author's important differences with Freud consist in the main as follows: He does not believe that the dream is always wish-fulfilling, but that not infrequently the dream is the very antithesis of a wish.**This is from a collection of two rare and important texts of the early proponents of psychoanalysis now on eBay**Shipping weight = 2 lbs. _________________________Item location - New York, New York, 10013, USA. read more
