Sigmund Freud had a significant influence on the psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, literature, and art of the 20th century. Among Freud’s greatest achievements are: grounding the concept of the “unconscious,” developing the theory of the Oedipus complex, creating the method of free association, and the techniques for interpreting dreams.
“Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis” is a brief but nonetheless very complete exposition of Freud’s teachings, including specific examples that illustrate the application of psychoanalysis in practice.
