It includes his papers on metapsychology, applied psychoanalysis, and technique. Within these broader categories are subjects as diverse as narcissism, love, paranoia, and homosexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRiviere's great understanding of Freud's work is evident as we see his engrossingly direct arguments—the style that distinguished him from academics of his day—take shape in her talented translations. We are presented with Freud's various guises; both an essayist and master storyteller, he brings to life the vagaries of his patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRiviere was a major player in disseminating psychoanalysis into English, 'no less than the man she translated is she a figure to be hidden from history'.
