Opis

Published in English for the first time, this classic work, completed in 1926, is a rare find. Often referenced but rarely seen outside of excerpts in Russian publication, the well-written and highly opinionated text presents readers with a historical trek through the mind of one of the world's most foremost psychological thinkers of the 20th century.
