Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality Sexual Abberations Infantile Sexuality Transformations of Puberty"At the turn of the last century, Freud produced the Three Essays and The Interpretation of Dreams , the two pillars upon which the whole of his psychoanalysis sits like a lintel. Of the two, it is the Three Essays , with its outline of "the libido theory," that has again and again attracted controversy and spurred the later development of psychoanalysis." , Elisabeth Young-Bruehl"Publishing the Three Essays in a new accessible edition is exciting in and of itself the commentaries by Marcus and Chodorow make it an historic volume. It is fitting to have a contemporary thinker such as Chodorow help the next generation understand its monumental contributions." , Steven J. Ellman
