A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis

Meer over het boek

Freud's exploration of psychoanalysis offers a groundbreaking perspective on human personality, emphasizing internal conflict and the tendency to evade reality. Rather than relying solely on scientific experimentation, he draws insights from self-examination and the free-association method used in therapy sessions. Written amidst the chaos of World War I, this work compiles lectures delivered at Vienna University, providing a foundational understanding of psychoanalytic principles and their implications for understanding the human condition.
