It focuses on the works of Alexander Mette and Gerhart Scheunert, two analysts whose contrasting approaches to psychoanalysis under Nazi rule illuminate the tensions between adaptation and resistance. Mette’s mastery of linguistic subterfuge allowed him to critique the regime subtly, while Scheunert’s dual identity as both a Nazi Party member and a psychoanalyst highlights the moral and professional compromises of the era. The book also delves into postwar controversies, including Annemarie Dührssen’s polemical history of German psychoanalysis and the ongoing struggle to reconcile Freud’s legacy with the field’s troubled past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for scholars and students of psychoanalysis, history and sociolinguistics, as well as anyone interested in the intersections of language, ideology and intellectual resistance. It offers profound insights into the ethical dilemmas faced by psychoanalysts under totalitarian regimes and the enduring impact of these challenges on the development of modern psychoanalytic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaurence A.
