Description
The works of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, have been reissued many times and remain popular scholarly publications to this day. They offer the most complete and accurate introduction to psychoanalysis, including the study of dreams, human psychology, and behavior in both normal and pathological states.
The translation, done by an experienced specialist, is notable for its accuracy and modern terminology, which sets it apart from earlier versions.
In the book “Psychopathology of Everyday Life,” Freud explores the mechanisms of forgetting: why do familiar lines or names suddenly disappear from memory or get replaced with similar ones? How do childhood memories get displaced by others? In “On Dreams,” Freud discusses the symbolism of dreams—one of his key themes.
The essay “The Ego and the Id” is devoted to the interaction between the conscious and the unconscious. Freud explains how the “Id,” representing unconscious drives, controls the conscious “Ego,” creating the illusion of its autonomy.
The collection also includes “Beyond the Pleasure Principle,” where the idea of the “death drive” inherent to all living beings is considered.
“The Interpretation of Dreams” played a significant role in the development of psychoanalysis, allowing a transition to a new level of understanding—especially in explaining phobias and obsessive thoughts.
“The Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality” had a significant impact, asserting that sexual instinct influences both the psyche and society. Despite ongoing debates, Freud’s theory of the unconscious and sexuality continues to remain an important contribution to psychological science.
