Radical Freud reveals a radical dimension to Sigmund Freud's sexual theory that has previously been neglected.
Thomas Olver argues that Freud's radical heritage has been transformed into an orthodox school with an internal stasis that is unassailable from within but increasingly challenged from without as irrelevant. Olver offers a return to the radical elements of Freud's work, first by reviewing the ways in which Freud's pioneering sexual theory has been vulgarised since his death, and by recentring his texts. The bisexuality thesis is then reconstructed, based on a close reading of key texts, and contrasted with the better-known Oedipus theory. Olver then explores the philosophical and clinical consequences of this parallel line of sexual theory.
Radical Freud will be of great interest to psychoanalysts as well as to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy.

- "Olver has written a provocative and passionate book"
- "His intention to outline and promote the subtleties and value of Freudian thought, and his dedication to tracing the construction and lines of dissemination of Freudian theory, are inspiring."
- "Radical Freud is remarkably ambitious: part intellectual history of the development of the psychoanalytic field, part the suggestion of a new metapsychology, part social theory, part utopic imagining, part close reading of Freud."
- "A meticulous reworking, and elaboration of the consequences, of ... a Freudian thesis of universal bisexuality that is distinct from the bisexuality that results from the full form of the Oedipus complex."
- "bisexuality becomes a nodal point for rethinking not only evolutionary science and social emancipation but also epistemology itself"
