Opis

The book presents the birth of the psychoanalytical movement on Polish lands in the years 1900-1918, on the broad background of the assimilation processes of Polish Jews. The author points out that Freud's theory played the role of "the promised land", as it was associated with the idea of the establishment of a more just social order.
