Landmark collection of essays by the father of psychoanalysis explores the conflict between primitive feelings & the demands of civilization.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was a physiologist, medical doctor, psychologist, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst and influential thinker of the early twentieth century. Freuds innovative treatment of human actions, dreams, and indeed of cultural artifacts as invariably possessing implicit symbolic significance has proven to be extraordinarily fruitful, and has had massive implications for a wide variety of fields including psychology, anthropology, semiotics, and artistic creativity and appreciation. However, Freuds most important and frequently re-iterated claim, that with psychoanalysis he had invented a successful science of the mind, remains the subject of much critical debate and controversy.
