Böcker av Sigmund Freud

In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and the tensions between the claims of society and the individual. We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?

Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The Interpretation of Dreams provides an accessible and insightful edition of this important work of psychologySigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams introduced his ground-breaking theory of the unconscious and explored how interpreting dreams can reveal the true nature of humanity. Regarded as Freud's most significant work, this classic text helped establish the discipline of psychology and is the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis. Highly readable and engaging, the book both provides a semi-autobiographical look into Freud's personal life - his holidays in the Alps, spending time with his children, interacting with friends and colleagues - and delves into descriptions and analyses of the dreams themselves.Freud begins with a review of literature on dreams written by a broad range of ancient and contemporary figures - concluding that science has learned little of the nature of dreams in the past several thousand years. Although the prevailing view was that dreams were merely responses to 'sensory excitation,' Freud felt that the multifaceted dimensions of dreams could not be attributed solely to physical causes. By the time Freud began writing the book he had interpreted over a thousand dreams of people with psychoses and recognised the connection between the content of dreams and a person's mental health. Among his conclusions were that a person's dreams:* Prefer using recent impressions, yet also have access to early childhood memories* Unify different people, places, events and sensations into one story* Usually focus on small or unnoticed things rather than major events* Are almost always 'wish fulfilments' which are about the self* Have many layers of meaning which are often condensed into a single imageThe Interpretation of Dreams: The Psychology Classic is as riveting today as it was over a century ago. Anyone with interest in the workings of the unconscious mind will find this book an invaluable source of original insights and foundational scientific concepts. This edition includes an insightful Introduction by Sarah Tomley, a psychology writer and practicing psychotherapist. Tomley considers paints a picture of Freud's life and times, reveals the place of The Interpretation of Dreams in the context of Freud's other writings, and draws out the key points of the work.

An extraordinary collection of thematically linked essays, including THE UNCANNY, SCREEN MEMORIES and FAMILY ROMANCES.Leonardo da Vinci fascinated Freud primarily because he was keen to know why his personality was so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. In this probing biographical essay he deconstructs both da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius. As ever, many of his exploratory avenues lead to the subject's sexuality - why did da Vinci depict the naked human body the way hedid? What of his tendency to surround himself with handsome young boys that he took on as his pupils? Intriguing, thought-provoking and often contentious, this volume contains some of Freud's best writing.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

One of Freud's central achievements was to demonstrate how unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence over our lives.This volume contains a key statement about evidence for the unconscious, and how it works, as well as major essays on all the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we most fear, and why certain men need fetishes for their sexual satisfaction. His study of our most basic drives, and how they are transformed, brilliantly illuminates the nature of sadism, masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

This collection of writings is famous for giving us the phrase 'Freudian slip'. It also builds up a strong social history of Vienna and the middle-class social milieu of Freud and his patients. Through a series of case histories, some no longer than a few lines long, Freud explores how it is that normal people make slips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everyday life, and reveals what it is that they betray about the existence of a sub-text or subliminal motive to our conscious actions. As he explains, most of these slips tend of be of a relatively anodyne nature, but some are a little more sinister, particularly those where pride or thwarted love are concerned...

Building on the crucial insight that jokes use many of the same mechanisms he had already discovered in dreams, Freud developed one of the richest and most comprehensive theories of humour that has ever been produced.Jokes, he argues, provide immense pleasure by allowing us to express many of our deepest sexual, aggressive and cynical thoughts and feelings which would otherwise remain repressed. In elaborating this central thesis, he brings together a dazzling set of puns, anecdotes, snappyone-liners, spoonerisms and beloved stories of Jewish beggars and marriage-brokers. Many remain highly amusing, while others throw a vivid light on the lost world of early twentieth-century Vienna.

"A Young Girl's Diary" is a book by Sigmund Freud that was published in 1915. It is a collection of diary entries written by a young girl named Anna between the ages of 11 and 14. The diary was given to Freud by one of his patients, who was also Anna's father.In the diary, Anna writes about her daily life, her relationships with her family and friends and her experiences as a growing adolescent. Freud uses Anna's diary as a basis for his psychoanalytic theories, particularly his theories on female psychosexual development.The book is significant because it provides a rare glimpse into the inner thoughts and experiences of a young girl during a time when female voices were often silenced. It also sheds light on Freud's theories and his approach to psychoanalysis. However, the book has also been criticized for its invasion of Anna's privacy and its potential exploitation of her experiences.

It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the Psychopathology of Everyday Life, a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behaviour, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real.This new edition comes with an Easy to Read Layout designed to make reading comfortable.

La transformation des penchants, sur laquelle repose notre aptitude à la vie civilisée, peut, sous l'influence des événements de la vie, être frappée de régression, passagère ou durable. Il est incontestable que les influences ayant leur source dans la guerre font partie des forces capables de provoquer une pareille régression, ce qui fait que nous n'avons pas le droit de refuser l'aptitude à la vie civilisée à tous ceux qui se comportent contrairement aux principes sur lesquels repose cette vie et que nous devons attendre, jusqu'à ce que des temps meilleurs et plus calmes ramènent de nouveau à la surface leurs sentiments nobles et élevés.Cette nouvelle édition possède une mise en page dont la taille des caractères est destinée à rendre la lecture confortable.

Sigmund Freud was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. Psychoanalysis was never just a method of treatment, rather a vision of the human condition which has continued to fascinate and provoke long after the death of its originator. Its central hypothesis, that we live in conflict with ourselves and seek to resolve matters by turning away from reality, did not emerge from experimental science but from self-examination and the unique opportunities for observation presented by the psychoanalytic technique - in particular, from the confessions produced by 'free-association' in Freud's consulting room. Written during the turmoil of the First World War, A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis was distilled from a series of lectures given at Vienna University.

The events of World War I form a somber canvas for the exchanges in Volume 2 (July 1914 through December 1919). Uncertainty pervades the letters: Will Ferenczi be called up? Will food, fuel, and cigar shortages continue? Will Freud's enlisted sons and son-in-law come through the war intact? And will Freud's "problem-child," psychoanalysis, survive?

Lorsque l'investigation psychanalytique, qui se contente habituellement du frêle matériel humain, s'approche des grands personnages de l'humanité, elle n'y est pas poussée par les motifs qui lui sont souvent attribués par les profanes. Elle ne s'efforce pas de "noircir l'éclatant et d'entraîner le sublime dans la fange" ; elle ne trouve aucune satisfaction à réduire la distance entre la perfection des grands et l'insuffisance des objets ordinaires. Mais elle ne peut s'empêcher de trouver digne d'être compris tout ce qui peut être perçu à travers ces prototypes, et elle croit aussi qu'aucun n'est assez grand pour avoir honte d'être soumis aux lois qui régissent avec la même rigueur les actions normales et morbides.Léonard de Vinci (1452-1519) était admiré même par ses contemporains comme l'un des plus grands hommes de la Renaissance italienne, mais il leur apparaissait déjà aussi mystérieux qu'il nous apparaît aujourd'hui. Génie aux multiples facettes, "dont la forme ne peut être que devinée mais jamais approfondie", il a exercé l'influence la plus décisive sur son époque en tant qu'artiste, et il nous reste à reconnaître sa grandeur de naturaliste qui s'est unie en lui à celle de l'artiste. Bien qu'il ait laissé des chefs-d'¿uvre de l'art pictural, bien que ses découvertes scientifiques soient restées inédites et inutilisées, le chercheur en lui n'a jamais tout à fait quitté l'artiste, il l'a souvent gravement blessé et, en fin de compte, il l'a peut-être complètement supprimé. Selon Vasari, Léonard s'est reproché, à la dernière heure de sa vie, d'avoir insulté Dieu et les hommes parce qu'il n'avait pas fait son devoir envers son art. Et même si le récit de Vasari manque de vraisemblance et appartient à ces légendes qui ont commencé à se tisser sur le maître mystique de son vivant, il n'en garde pas moins une valeur incontestable de témoignage du jugement de ces gens et de cette époque.
