- This 401-page monograph in seven chapters places the history of German psychoanalysis within larger cultural and intellectual histories by historicizing the German reception of Freud’s work across the twentieth century. It has taken seven years in research and writing though Kauders’ research on the reception of psychology dates back to the early 2000s. Informed by substantial German archival sources, the monograph uses themes such as sexuality and soul associated with particular historical dates as reception lenses to produce a new narrative of fundamental social change in Germany between 1913 and 1985.

- English abstract
- Der Freud-Komplex is the first book-length study of the German reception of psychoanalysis in the twentieth century. The work examines the way in which different groups in society, ranging from psychiatrists, doctors and lawyers to students, artists and anarchists, either rejected or embraced Freud in an effort to reinforce particular views of the psyche. Many reactions disclosed fears, hopes and fantasies common to Germans at the time. These feelings were often related to popular conceptions of selfhood, including self-control, free will, sexual freedom, or collective behaviour. The German encounter with psychoanalysis is therefore also a cultural history of emotions.
