Werner Muensterberger

"From rare books, valuable sculpture and paintings, the relics of saints, and porcelain and other objets d'art, through stamps, textiles, military ribbons, and shells, to baseball cards, teddy bears, and cookie jars, an amazing variety of objects have engaged and even obsessed collectors through the ages. In this captivating book the psychoanalyst Werner Muensterberger provides the first psychological examination of the emotional sources of the neverending longing for yet another collectible." -- from interior flap.
