Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
In reasoned progression he outlined core psychoanalytic concepts, such as repression, free association and libido. Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of James Strachey. Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions. Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work --along with a note on the individual volume--by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.

2010 Reprint of 1927 First English Edition. Professor Freud's autobiography, first published in English in 1927, is written in his usual forceful, straightforward and frank style, which has now become so familiar to readers of psychoanalytic literature. The autobiography as a whole is really a condensed account of the development of the psychoanalytic concepts as they unfolded themselves in Professor Freud's mind, and he says this much of it and adds that "no personal experiences of mine are of any interest in comparison to my relation with that science."
Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety
Author: Sigmund FreudPublisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473392837
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
This vintage text contains Sigmund Freud's seminal essay, "Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety". Although 'symptoms' and 'inhibitions' appear to be unconnected phenomena, the fact that in some disorders and illnesses there are only symptoms, and in others only inhibitions - seems to indicate that there may be a connection between the two. This fascinating treatise by the father of psychoanalysis explores this connection, and examines what it may mean for psychoanalytical paradigms. This text is highly recommended for anyone interested in psychoanalysis or the work of the great Sigmund Freud, and it will be of special utility to students of psychology. Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939) was an Austrian neurologist widely considered to be the father of psychoanalysis. We are republishing this antiquarian volume in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Freud
Author: Joel WhitebookPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108210082
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
The life and work of Sigmund Freud continue to fascinate general and professional readers alike. Joel Whitebook here presents the first major biography of Freud since the last century, taking into account recent developments in psychoanalytic theory and practice, gender studies, philosophy, cultural theory, and more. Offering a radically new portrait of the creator of psychoanalysis, this book explores the man in all his complexity alongside an interpretation of his theories that cuts through the stereotypes that surround him. The development of Freud's thinking is addressed not only in the context of his personal life, but also in that of society and culture at large, while the impact of his thinking on subsequent issues of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and social theory is fully examined. Whitebook demonstrates that declarations of Freud's obsolescence are premature, and, with his clear and engaging style, brings this vivid figure to life in compelling and readable fashion.

He studied a variety of subjects, including philosophy, physiology, and zoology, graduating with an MD in 1881.

Moses and Monotheism
Author: Sigmund FreudPublisher: Leonardo Paolo Lovari
ISBN: 8898301790
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
The book consists of three essays and is an extension of Freud’s work on psychoanalytic theory as a means of generating hypotheses about historical events. Freud hypothesizes that Moses was not Hebrew, but actually born into Ancient Egyptian nobility and was probably a follower of Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist. Freud contradicts the biblical story of Moses with his own retelling of events, claiming that Moses only led his close followers into freedom during an unstable period in Egyptian history after Akhenaten (ca. 1350 BCE) and that they subsequently killed Moses in rebellion and later combined with another monotheistic tribe in Midian based on a volcanic God, Jahweh. Freud explains that years after the murder of Moses, the rebels regretted their action, thus forming the concept of the Messiah as a hope for the return of Moses as the Saviour of the Israelites. Freud said that the guilt from the murder of Moses is inherited through the generations; this guilt then drives the Jews to religion to make them feel better.
