Psychoanalysis

Description

"Sigmund Freud formed the essential ideas of all modern psychoanalytic theory, including such concepts as the Id, Ego and Super-Ego, the Death Instinct and the Pleasure Principle, and produced now classic case studies, such as the Wolfman. Adam Phillips's marvellous selection provides an ideal overview of Freud's thought in all its extraordinary ambition and variety. Psychoanalysis may be known as the 'talking cure', yet it is also and profoundly a way of reading. Here Freud's writings are clear as readings and listenings, as he deciphers the secrets of the mind and finds words for desires that have never found expression. Much more than this, however, The Penguin Freud Reader presents a compelling reading of life as we experience it today, and a way in to the work of one of the most haunting writers of the modern age."--Page 4 of cover.
