Annotation: For William James work was the problem. Ultimately, going to work was the resolution, and James's quest for meaningful work remains as relevant today as it was in the nineteenth century. Weaving letters, diaries, drawings, and published texts, Becoming William James provides a convincing biographical analysis rich in detail and tone. In his new introduction Howard M. Feinstein adds biological psychiatry to psychoanalytic and family systems theories to inform our understanding of a complex man. In addition, he discusses whether James's mental illness might have been treated with drugs.
