Definitivamente un libro de consulta, pero vale la pena leer todo completo al menos 1 vez en la vida (y olvidarte de su existencia un rato..)

De los mejores libros que existen sobre la Neurosis, en donde se expone de manera clara, profunda y extensa la teoría psicoanalítica de la neurosis. Es definitivamente un libro de cabecera, para consultarse de manera continua y servir de apoyo en la práctica terapéutica. Aunque las teorías de psicoanalíticas resultan controversiales, en el tema de las neurosis, siguen siendo aún muy vigentes. Sin duda un excelente libro, muy recomendable.

Why the 3 stars instead of 5, you say? Well, it's actually hard to rate this book. Fenichel is a genius, no doubt about it, and his Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis is simply one of the best in the topic. However, the book is not so *enjoyable* to read. Some textbooks are pretty enjoyable (no kidding), but Fenichel's Neurosis isn't one of them.

Considering the times, Fenichel did an excellent compendium of the up to date psychoanalytic discoveries while mainting a critique to capitalism.

By far better than all the freudian encyclopedias and with insightful social commentary.

Granted, it ain't perfect (it has some vices and adherence to the fruedian school), but, from all that I've read, it's the most complete book of psychoanalytic theory.

A brilliant and comprehensive account of classical Freudian developmental theory in relation to a broad spectrum of pathologies. They'll still be reading it in 200 years time-superb.
