Description: Elizabeth Severn: The Evil Genius of Psychoanalysis chronicles the life and work of Elizabeth Severn both as one of the most controversial analysands in the history of psychoanalysis and as a psychoanalyst in her own right. Condemned by Freud as "an evil genius" Freud disapproved of Severn's work and had her influence expelled from the psychoanalytic mainstream. In this book Rachman draws on years of research into Severn to present a much needed reappraisal of her life and work as well as her contribution to modern psychoanalysis. Arnold Rachman's re - discovery restoration and analysis of the Elizabeth Severn Papers including previously unpublished interviews books brochures and photographs suggests that far from a failure that the analysis of Severn by Ferenczi constitutes one of the great cases in psychoanalysis one that was responsible a new theory and methodology for the study and treatment of trauma disorder in which Severn played a pioneering role. Elizabeth Severn should be of interest to any psychoanalyst looking to glean fresh light on Severn's progressive views on clinical empathy self - disclosure countertransference analysis intersubjectivity and the origins of relational analysis.
