If you are expecting a novelized treatment of the drama between Freud and Jung over treatment of a controversial patiient (like I was), think again. This reads more like a textbook, or a research report on ancestry using lots of records. I couldn't get through two pages, and I read some really dull mathematics texts. I was expecting drama and personal conflict, not a recounting of facts. Blame me for being too shallow and vapid for a scholarly discussion, when I was looking for drama. It is not a bad book, I am sure, for some one interested in serious scholarly research without scandal and sin. I admittedly was looking for both, and returned the book.
