A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis

Sigmund Freud

Book Overview: 

These twenty-eight lectures to laymen are elementary and almost conversational. Freud sets forth with a frankness almost startling the difficulties and limitations of psychoanalysis, and also describes its main methods and results as only a master and originator of a new school of thought can do. A text like this is the most opportune and will naturally more or less supersede all other introductions to the general subject of psychoanalysis. It presents the author in a new light, as an effective and successful popularizer, and is certain to be welcomed not only by the large and growing number of students of psychoanalysis in this country but by the yet larger number of those who wish to begin its study here and elsewhere.

Forgetting impressions and experiences shows the working of the tendency to keep unpleasantness from recollection much more clearly and conclusively than does the forgetting of names. It does not, of course, belong in its entirety to the category of errors, but only in so far as it seems to us conspicuous and unjustified, measured by the measuring stick of our accustomed conception—thus, for example, where the forgetfulness strikes fresh or important impressions or impressions whose loss tears a hole in the otherwise well-remembered sequence. Why and how it is in general that we forget, particularly why and how we forget experiences which have surely left the deepest impressions, such as the incidents of our first years of childhood, is quite a different problem, in which the defense against unpleasant associations plays a certain role but is far from expl. . . Read More

Freud was a genius. That in no way means he was always right. But you ignore him at your peril if you are interested in understanding the human condition.

The medulla oblongata is a very serious and lovely object.

When I was in college, I used to get in long and rather aimless arguments with a friend about Freud. The funny thing is, both of us agreed that Freud was fundamentally wrong about most things. The argument was, rather, whether Freud was w

کتاب «مقدمه‌ای بر روان‌کاوی» مجموعه‌ای از درس‌گفتارهای زیگموند فروید است که در سه بخش کلی ارائه شده است. بخش اول به «روان‌شناسی خطاها» می‌پردازد، بخش دوم دربارهٔ «رؤیا» است و بخش سوم «نظریهٔ عمومی روان‌نژندی‌ها» را شرح می‌دهد. به گفتهٔ خود فروید در مقدمه، فرض او بر این است که مخاطبین هیچ دانشی دربار

Freud was sometimes wrong and sometimes right but you can not ignore him at any time. He has changed the discourse of classical thinking about a certain phenomenon.
Introductory psychoanalysis lectures portrait the pretty pictures of his imagination and beliefs with the help of psychological theories

Am citit o ediţie publicată în 1980, deci încă pe vremea lu' Ceaşcă. Partea cea mai frumoasă şi demnă de studiat a volumului este reprezentată de faptul că acesta este dedicat "profesorilor universitari şi studenţilor, viitori profesori", după cum se statuează pe prima pagină. Deloc de neglijat, dac

‎دوستانِ گرانقدر، در این کتاب زنده یاد <فروید> در موردِ مسائلِ گوناگونی در رابطه با روانکاوی سخن گفته است و برخی از سخنرانی هایِ او در این کتاب جمع آوری شده است، که در موردِ بسیاری از آنها در ریویوهایِ دیگر برایِ شما عزیزان نوشته ام... بنظرم یکی از بهترین بخشهای این سخنان مربوط میشود به "هنر" و "هنر

One is not advised to just jump into Freud, as I did, taking little account of the order of his publications. He revised his theories too often.

I was fortunate to read this series of lectures early on, although I would have been even more fortunate to have read his earlier work on hysteria first. He

Near his life's end he recorded [on audio] these words:"I started my professional activity trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. In the end I succeeded, but the
