About Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian psychiatrist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Considered the most influential psychological theorist of the twentieth century, Freud's theories have had an enormous influence on art, literature, and social thinking. Freud's fundamental idea was that all humans are endowed with an unconscious in which potent sexual and aggressive drives, and defenses against them, struggle for supremacy. His first major work was The Interpretation of Dreams, which established the importance of the psychoanalytical movement. His other writings include Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, The Future of an Illusion, The Ego and the Id, and Beyond the Pleasure Principle.

I read this for Ann Ulanov's course on Depth Psychology and Theology during the second semester of 1974/75 at Union Theological Seminary. Some had been assigned, but, as usual, I didn't want to read just part of a book. The book consists of fifteen essays composed from 1911 through 1938.......more

Beaucoup plus un livre de philosophie que de psychologie. Le titre est trompeur. On y retrouve différents articles écrits surtout sur les états psychiques.......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on November 26, 2022

This is a small anthology published for popular audiences, apparently in the 60s; the cover advertises hot takes on paranoia, masochism and depression, but in reality this is a mostly clinical, scientific volume, or at least an attempt at such. However, this volume mostly records the conclusions of......more
