Summary:
This biography introduces the history of the study of the physical and emotional aspects of the mind as well as the colorful life of Sigmund Freud. Additional resources include an appendix, a bibliography, web sites, and an index.

Teaching Ideas:
Teachers may want to do some pre-reading vocabulary work on psychological terminology. Readers might find making a timeline of the events of Freud's life helpful in tracking shifts in Freud's thinking. They could then develop a list of the 'basics' of Freud's beliefs and then look for bits of his own life story to speculate on their origin. Summarizing the history of the study of the mind in the introductory chapter might help readers distinguish between the physical exploration of the anatomical brain and the study of the "emotional brain" that couldn't be seen nor touched. There are many topics for writing and discussion: Why have women found fault with Freud's work? What did scientific truth mean to a scientist who could not conduct experiments.
