N2  - "Twenty years offer Freud's metapsychology all but succumbed to rigorous criticism in the United States, Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau's comprehensive dissection of the theoretical foundations of psychoanalysis affords a new approach to the classical model of the psychical apparatus, which here appears in a surprisingly modern light. In her reconstruction of the dynamic system of the psyche, she introduces a number of novel concepts - such as lethe to denote the energy of a self-preservative death drive directed primarily inward onto the subject's own person - which have the potential not only to widen our overall view of psychic functioning but also to revolutionize our clinical understanding."--BOOK JACKET
