5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Turns 60, December 19, 2005
By 
ws__ (Hamburg, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense (The Writings of Anna Freud, Vol. 2, 1936) (Hardcover)
Next year is the 60'th anniversary of this classic text of the daughter of Sigmund Freud. A great opportunity to pick up this booklet for a (re-)read. The writing is clear, lucid and quite dense. The reading is full of invitations for further thoughts and reflections about the various defense mechanisms with special emphasis on the ego. The style is friendly in the best sense.

The only problem is its high information density. Other authors write books about the contents of a single chapter. This might lead to some exhaustion, if you are not deep in the Freudian terminology. But everything is explained and the work spent will be well rewarded.
