Description: Masochism In Modern Man by Theodor Reik (1949 Hardcover First Edition, 2nd Printing)First published in 1941, Theodor Reik's definitive work on masochism received wide praise from scientist and literary critic alike, both for the brilliance of the author's hypothesis and the high quality of his writing. Some fifteen years of work lie behind this volume, during which time Dr. Reik formed and tested his theories until he believed he had found the answer to many of the baffling problems posed by his subject. Dr. Reik, friend and pupil of Sigmund Freud, bases his work on Freud's original research which divides masochism into sexual masochism, displaying the paradoxical pairing of discomfort and pain with sexual pleasure, and social masochism, which may be seen in the martyr attitude of modern man."I found this book very illuminating on the psychology of masochists. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to understand more about the masochistic behaviour." - Victor Carr, Amazon ReviewVintage Hardcover / Farrar Straus / 1949 / First Edition, Second Printing / Good Condition / Wrapped in Mylar Sleeve
