Synopsis

Freud: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and thorough account of Freud's thought, his major works and theories, providing an ideal guide to the important and complex ideas of this key thinker, who is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential and groundbreaking theorists of the twentieth century. The book introduces all the key freudian concepts and themes and examines the ways in which they intersect with issues in philosophy and literary theory. Geared towards the specific requirements of students who need to reach a sound understanding of Freud's thought, the book also provides a cogent and reliable survey of some of the most important debates surrounding certain psychoanalytic concepts and their "application" outside the clinical domain.
