Secret Ring: Freud's Inner Circle and the Politics of Psychoanalysis

by Phyllis Grosskurth

In the spring of 1912, Freud brought his closest colleagues together and gave them each an ancient ring, symbolizing the formation of a new force in psychoanalysis. Gaining access to previously unavailable archives, Grosskurth writes the story of the complex relationships among these men, whose personal and professional lives were dominated by Freud.
