Abstract

Stephen A. Black has brought to an impressive conclusion the important project on which he has been working for a couple of decades, the writing of a psychoanalytic biography of Eugene O'Neill. Black, who is a literature professor, underwent non-medical psychoanalytic training to carry out this work, and the result is a book that conveys both artistic and scientific insight into the self-analytical dramas of O'Neill.
