The Essentials of Psycho-Analysis

by Sigmund Freud, James Strachey, Anna Freud
The Essentials of Psycho-Analysis
The Essentials of Psycho-Analysis

Definitive guide to Freud's psychoanalytic concepts.

If you're keen on delving into the origins of psychoanalysis, this collection is essential reading. Freud's exploration of dreams, sexuality, and the psyche is foundational for anyone studying psychology or looking to understand the underpinnings of human behavior. His insights and theories have shaped much of modern thought on the subject, making this a timeless resource for both students and curious minds alike.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In this selection of her father’s writings, Anna Freud has defined and included, in a single volume, the essential, irreducible elements of psychoanalysis. She begins with the most appropriate of Freud’s own introductory essays, The Question of Lay Analysis, and follows the sequence of themes that he adopted in that work—the meaning of dreams, the concept of the unconscious, instinctual and sexual life, the structure of the personality, defense mechanisms, and symptom formation. The result, with her own lucid commentaries supplementing her father’s writing in the authorized translations by James Strachey, is a coherent, manageable, and authoritative guide to the principal themes and concepts of psychoanalysis.
